The Bunco Bunch
During the winter to fight against boredom, Sister Jenn Haynes for the past two years has run a Bunco League on Sunday evenings at the Post Canteen. Every week one of the members hosts the game, makes snacks, food and picks the theme of her choice for the sisters to dress up as.
Me, being the Veteran and Family Support Chairman for our Post picked the oh so appropriate theme of Armed Forces. As you can see by the photos, great fun is had by all and the ladies have a great time in selecting their outfits and acting the part.
Pictured with her “Troop” is Sister Jennifer Haynes who is also the Chairman for our Adopt A Troop Program. We have adopted four troops so far and our current one is an Army Unit serving in Afghanistan. Sister Jessica Ortiz’s sister is a member of this unit, Jennifer Parnell. Anyone out there wishing to donate items to this great cause can drop them off in a collection box located in our Post Canteen.
Lonnie Skilinski Peterson won the best dressed prize for Armed Forces Theme. She borrowed her nephew, Marc Skilinski’s uniform as he was home on leave at the time. Marc is a Life Member of our post, who just finished a tour in Afghanistan and is now in Germany. Marc will be returning to the states soon and stationed near Washington DC.
The week of May 5 th Sisters Janet Phipps Frank and Noelle Eastman were the hosts of Bunco and their theme was Nerd’s. What a great theme that turned out to be with everyone really getting into and acting the part. Sherry Greer took went home with the best costume prize but am not sure if it was the outfit or the acting out the part that put her over the top!!! It was another great night of fun shared with fellow sisters. We have formed a “Sisterhood of Crazy but Beautiful Bunco Bitches”. In the photo from left to right Nerds: Janet Phipps Frank, Noelle Eastman, Mary Reeser and Sherry Greer.
KUDO’s to Sister Jennifer Haynes for bringing this game and so much fun into our post and especially for all of the hard work that she has to do to keep track of all the point. Great job Jenn.
