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
