The “Guaranteed Partner” program is up and running.  We need 2-3 volunteers for first, third, and fourth Tuesdays and a volunteer for the third Wednesday.  I am delighted with the level of participation!  Remember, if you need a partner for Tuesday or Wednesday post the request on the web site first; still in need, come to the game and you will be able to play.
