Fort Mac Board Game Day

When: Weekly, Mondays from 1 – 3pm
Where: Fort City Church, Thickwood, Fort McMurray
Host: Karen, 587-644-1825

I’ll bring board games and card games and some puzzles. Everyone is welcome.  If people are bringing younger kids, please bring some appropriate games for them to play. The games I have are for ages 7 and  up. 

People can bring clean snacks and drinks to share.  I don’t want games to get dirty so please no eating at game tables. 

The only thing we need to do is leave the church exactly as we found it so everyone will need to pitch in to clean up when we are done.
