Williamsburg Community FEBRUARY 15, 2016 Local Happenings at the Williamsburg Condominium at Heritage Ridge Office email: williamsburgcoa@yahoo.com Chatter "Chatter" is a publication of the Williamsburg Community newsletter, created twice a month during the winter season. Clubhouse notes: Women Object!!! The women's team competing in the Thursday night Gin Rummy Game (7 p.m.) have objected (nearly rioted) to the continued publication of the results of the contests. They would prefer that all reporting be discontinued until such time as they might win once. It was pointed out that freedom of the press (even of a barely talented and unprepared press like at the Williamsburg Community) guarantees the right to publish. But in the spirit of getting-along the Chatter has decided NOT to report that once again this past Thursday the men won big. Don't forget that ladies' games night is every Monday night 7:00, and Mahjongg is every Monday at 1:00 p.m. And don't forget ladies' exercise swim every morning at 9:00, Monday through Saturday, when the temperature is above 60.

Wednesday, February 3rd at 6:00 at the Clubhouse was the first night of BUNCO. EVERYONE was invited., and almost everyone showed up! We had to add tables. Players roll three dice, aiming to obtain a target number. Players gain one point for each die matching the target. If the player gets three-of-a-kind of the target number (a Bunco), they get 21 points. The round stops when a player at a table obtains 21 points. Whoever wins the most rounds is the overall winner. Barbara Davies was the big winner with $30. Linda Zurhellen and Janice from Bunker Hill tied for second place, earning $15 a piece. Bring an appetizer or a dessert and $5. Everyone has a chance to win. Next game: Every second Wednesday of the month, promptly at 7:00. Sign up sheet is in the Clubhouse.
