IJ00hanges proposed in | I00omeless assistance Bunco beginning at SOCK As part of its new socials pro- gram, Save Our County's Kids, or SOCK, is starting a monthly Bunco Night. The first Bunco Night will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 10, at the Shelton Com- munity & Transit Center, 601 West Franklin Street in down- town Shelton. No experience is needed, and newcomers will be taught how to play in just a few minutes. Bunco Night at SOCK is scheduled for the second Sat- urday of each month. The game of Bunco is an easy, progressive dice game, originally played in England during the 18th Century. It was unknown in the United States until 1855, when it was introduced into San Francisco during the Gold Rush. Since then, it has grown in popu- larity and groups are springing up across the country. "Our Bunco games are a fun way to be with friends while raising some money for SOCK's youth programs, too," said SOCK Executive Director Sue Sheldon. She explained that Bunco Night is part of a fun-and-fund- raising program called SOCK Socials. "How this works is that folks with a common interest plan monthly meetings to do something they all enjoy - like going for a motorcycle ride, or playing Bunco. When they meet, they also agree to give a certain amount of money to SOCK. We're calling these groups SOCK So- cials no matter what they do," she explained. "The amount that each per- son gives in their SOCK Social is what feels comfortable for them," Sheldon added. "This accom- plishes two things: It gives busy people the opportunity to meet on a more regular basis for fun ac- tivities, and it lets them help sup- port SOCK's youth programs. It's a real win-win." Vern will play his harmonica The Lilliwaup Community Club will host its monthly potluck at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Lilliwaup Clubhouse. Harmonica player Vern Morgus is the featured guest. In observance of Saint Patrick's Day, corned beef will be served. Those attending are asked to bring a salad, side dish or dessert and dinnerware. All are invited and encouraged to wear green. Library to host talk on housing A class for first-time homebuy- ors will be given free of charge on Saturday, March 10, at the Wil- liam G. Reed Library, 710 West Alder Street in Shelton. The five-hour class is required of first-time homebuyers in or- der to qualify for special funding through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission. To register, call 360-709-2525.
