It’s TCSC Whist Night!!! Come and join us at a lovely location in “The Mezz” at the Lunds & Byerlys at

We are capped at 24 players for the evening. The first 24 people to sign up will guarantee themselves a place at that table. If you’d like to show up to socialize (there’s a bar) and watch and learn, let us know and we’ll make sure the avid card players get their spot first.
