The new club season starts tonight. Wins, losses, and averages restart.

From a posting to CGP by Jane Whitmore (mailto:jwhitmore1@myfairpoint.net):
  It's not too early to register for the 5th annual Green Mountain SCRABBLE
  Tourney to be held in Vermont, November 19-21.  Last year, rooms sold out
  FAST as the hotel deadline approached.  Some people were disappointed
  about having to stay off site. Be sure to reserve your room early if you
  want to enjoy The Essex Resort and Spa to it's fullest.  The hotel
  deadline is October 30th.

  People who have attended this event will tell you about the delicious
  food, gorgeous playing room, good people, fun prizes and...our fun trivia
  event on Saturday evening.  We are delighted to announce that, the
  originator of "Who Wants to Be a Hundredaire", Frank Tangredi, will
  return as our host for this event!  Only 16 players can compete for the
  title of "Vermont's 2010 Hundredaire".  So let Frank know by emailing him
  at franktangredi@hotmail.com if you want to be among the contestants.

  Our directors for the event are the ever efficient and wonderful team of
  Sherrie Saint John and Tim Fukawa-Connelly.

  Let me know if you want me to add you to the list of probable attendees.
