Assemble 113 scrabble players, add music, food and fabulous raffle prizes, and the result is a great fundraiser for the LCMC. The March 21st event raised over $13,000 for the LCMC. We are indebted to our sponsors for their generous underwriting: Shapiro and Burson, LLP (Triple Word Sponsorship); Snider Weinstein, PLLC (Double Word Sponsorship); Lenore England (Double Letter Sponsorship); Alston & Bird, LLP (Triple Letter Sponsorship). And hats off to all of our event volunteers, who put packets together, set up game boards, greeted and registered players, sold letters and raffle tickets, directed traffic, checked scores, looked up words, and packed up the games. As the saying goes, "it takes a village" to support our efforts to provide high quality services to our adult learners and their tutors. Congratulations to our 3 top scoring teams: 1st place:  Cheryl Kagan and David Spitzer; 2nd place: Dan and Beth Mallon, Ryan May and Susan Sanford; 3rd place:  Monica Darst, Mollie Meyer, Gaylen DiSanto, Morriah Horani. We hope to see you all next year!
