Photos from 2013 Cheyenne Scrabble Tournament for ALzheimers

We raised $700 at the 1st Annual National Scrabble Day Scrabble Tournament For Alzheimer's, which was held at the Cheyenne Depot on Saturday, April 13 (which is National Scrabble Day.)

Thank you Janet Lewis for taking the photos below and sharing them with us.

hand-made Scrabblequilt raffled off



 Raffle prizes consisted of gently used items donated by volunteers, as well as items from businesses





Funds raised were from entry fees and raffle ticket purchases, businesses purchasing program ad space, and generous donations from a few employees of Hughes Integration.

(Businesses who supported us, in alphabetical order:  2 Doors Down, Aspen Wind,  Cheyenne Auto Repair & Service (CARS), Cheyenne Warriors, Corey Rang of Farmer's Insurance, Mitchell's BBQ, Peak Properties, and Your Cheyenne Computer Tutor.

Fourteen Scrabble players took part in a round robin format, with each person playing four games. At the end of four games, if there'd been ties, we would have had a play off, but one person, Brook Shaffer was the winner at 4-0, and our 2nd and 3rd place winners were 3-1 but with a point differential.

Janet Lewis of Aspen Wind took a few photos for us. (We had three display tables, one from Aspen Wind, one from Alzheimer's Assocation, and one from Home Instead Senior Care.)
