Games Day at the Co-op A Success!

 

Once again, Pender-Ferndale had the strongest showing at a Co-op event, with Al, Esme, Nola, Mary W. and Nina representing their site. Jen from Vic-Nape, Mary S. from Salsbury and Teresa from Venables rounded out the game-players for the day. Jen and Al laid out a terrific spread of snacks, which helped everyone keep going between rounds. The group warmed up with a round of Crazy 8s and then the main event began. Mary W. and Nina had brought one of their new favourite games, Telestrations, and the rest of the afternoon was spent drawing and guessing and drawing again.

There’s sure to be another games day, so be prepared for games of all kinds – co-operative, competitive, performative, and creative!

Thanks to Al and Jen for organizing this fun Sunday afternoon event and thanks to everyone who joined in or stopped by to say hello.

Games Day at the Co-op

Hello Everyone,

The Education Committee will be hosting a Games Day at the co-op office beginning at 1pm on Sunday, February 25th.

We will have Pictionary and Pandemic on hand. My kids will bring some card games as well.

If you like you can bring a snack to share.

We should wrap up around 3pm.

We hope you join in.

If you would like to RSVP to me at this address to give us an idea of how many members are coming that would be great but if you decide at the last minute to join us you are more than welcome.

Al
