If you love backgammon, and well, who doesn't, this is the group for you.
(Note: apparently my clip art program does not like backgammon, since
they had no picture, but perhaps I digress....) Although they have only been
meeting for a couple of weeks, they alreaady have eight regulars. The gals
are aspiring to grow their group so that they can have tournaments and do
fund-raising events. The group meets on Sunday afternoons and you can

Garden and Yard Society (GAYS)
No matter what shade of green your thumb might be, you'll blossom by
socializing with other gay gardeners. The Garden and Yard Society wins
the best acronym award, for sure! And it also reminds me of my favorite
flower joke (well, the ONLY flower joke I know, actually): What is better
than roses on your piano? Tulips on your organ! Well, maybe that works
better in a verbal format. Anywho....GAYS meets the 2nd Sunday of each
month at 4 pm. For more info, email Vickie and Clyde.
