Mitch and Bob collected tables and chairs from two different houses. Doris called her sister Margaret and had her bring up some more forks and spoons. '.!e sent up to Scofield's for another coffee pot and last but most important, we had to round up some more cups. Never let it be said that when the unexpected occurs, that the Enf- ield Grangers don't have a firm grip on things. And calm and cool through it'all Paas our wonderful hostess, Doris. 'Jhile the rest 'of .e watc't ;'. ^it'J c:el'girt-as the rooms filled up, with 13 tabl^s of card playo s (ire i.+ould have had 14 but we didn't have another tabic) 'she mored from room to room seeing that all was in order. To our treasury we added $40,00 that night. All that can be said further -on the subject -is that -you certainly don't know what you're missing when you miss one of our card parties. Just ask anyone of the 56 people who were at t1le Specht's last Saturday night. Card parties coming up are March 18th at the Gray's, April ist. at Susie Hansen's, April 15th at Bob Carpenter's and,April 29th at Ralph Lovelace's. lake a pencil and mark them on your calar_dar now; Oh yes, Ralph and Blanch Lovelace and Chuck Guyett-will host the card party at the Gray's because their driveway is muddy right now.
