The Catholic Women’s League (CWL) of Drayton hosted their annual Euchre card party on Oct. 3.
Several tables of four players each participated in the event at the St. Martin of Tours’ parish hall. This euchre event has been held annually for more than 50 years.
The following players received recognition and prizes for their card-playing accomplishments: women’s high, Sharon Naylor ($12); women’s 2nd high, Marian Walker ($10); women’s most lone Hands, Joyce Wilson ($10); women’s low, Marg Brunkard ($5); men’s high, Norm Kane ($12); men’s 2nd high, Len Frey ($10); men’s most lone hands, tie: Joe Riff and Peter McDougall ($10/2); and men’s low, Robert Naylor ($5).
Door prize winners of chrysanthemums, a reader’s basket (novel, sparkling juice and chocolates) and a Kitras Art Glass ornament were Jim Hale, Jim Walker, Mary McDougall, Bernie Kaminski and Joe Riff. Winners of further special draws (a beverage dispenser, a Kitras Art Glass ornament, and a 4Connect game) and the Half and Half were Doris Hale, Shirley Franklin, Jean Campbell and Norm Kane.
Lunch was served in the parish hall after 10 rounds of Euchre had been played.
“We appreciate all those who came to play and be in one another’s company as a form of community for the evening,” organizers state.
Organizers thanked those who helped and made contributions and extended gratitude to Barry Gourlay’s grocery store of Moorefield for donations.
Also recognized were the support of Father Piotr Golinski, the volunteers who help set up, master of ceremonies Earl Campbell and other helpers and donors.
The CWL’s annual euchre will be held on the first Friday of October in 2015.
