Neighbor Jeff Levinson writes to let us know that the monthly Ditmas Park Scrabble Club is trying out a new day of the week for its meet-up:

Ditmas Park Scrabble will be meeting on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4 at Temple Beth Emeth, 83 Marlborough Road (at Church), from 7pm-10pm. People of all skill levels, faiths, and shoe sizes are welcome. There will be treats, and, depending on attendance, prizes. The cost is $5 for temple members and $10 for non-members.

Since this is a new night, please drop a line if you think you will be able to make it. No pressure – if you RSVP and can’t come, that’s OK, and if you don’t RSVP, you can still come.

To RSVP or to be notified of future events, contact dpscrabble@gmail.com.
