TGIFYears ago, on the last Friday of every month, our fearless director would distribute entries into a bidding contest: the current problems from the "It's Your Call" article in the latest Bulletin. He would score the entries, a time-consuming process to be sure, and award the announced winners with a free play. All entrants are welcome! The top two local scorers will each win a free play. Rules
