Brookside Games

The unit wishes to thank Sara Gainey for all her contributions to our game. We hope she has a great new adventure as she moves west. We are working on a solution to make sure the game on Tuesday at Brookside continues, but we will need to take a short break during August to regroup. We hope to resume play in September on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. The Wednesday novice game is also being reviewed and may return with a different format and location depending on the results of the survey sent to all 0-200 MP players. Please return these surveys as soon as possible so we can make the best plans using the input from the players in this category.

Our next board meeting is October 1 at 11:00 at LVAL.

The Lehigh Valley is located in eastern Pennsylvania. 

 We are approximately 60 miles north of Philadelphia, and 80 miles west of New York City.

Betsy Cutler is the Unit 133 President for 2021-2023
