There isn't a better way to
get to know others than when
all are having fun. Well, that
is just .what WDO "regulars
did last Wednesday morning.
Several of the ladies
brought games and cards for
an infcu-mal morning of fun
and laughs. The games were
set up on different tables.
Ladies then rotated around
the tables after participating
in each game. Coffee, tea and
cookies were served as they
tested their luck and skill
• against each other.
Some of ' the games there
were Operation, Tip -it„ Ker -
Plunk, Battleships, Chinese
Checkers, along with various
card Ames. With Christmas
coming soon it was a fun way
of finding out what some
games are like and what
kids of gifts they'd make.
After all had a tri- at the
various games they divided
into tWo groups for charades.
That sure put a stop to any
delusions they—had of ' being
budding_acesses.
Time flies when you are
