    Upcoming Events

    Euchre 2025-26

    Euchre season begins again next week!

    Starting Sept 20, Euchre Night will be a Members Only event held in my home, with a new buy-in price of $5. 
    I will provide some very light snacks, but please eat dinner before arriving and BYOB. Please plan to pay your $5 at the door and bring quarters for euchres.

    Due to space, we are limited to 19 players (4 tables w/3 sitting out per game) with sign-ups on the website beginning 2 weeks before the event. There will also be a waitlist if it is full when you try to sign up.

    Please be courteous to others by cancelling your sign-up ASAP if you cannot make it; by doing so, the next person on the waitlist will automatically be moved onto the player list.

    Let’s play cards!
