Session Notes:

Seventeen players attended this session, our largest ever turnout of local-only folks. Joining us for the first time was Sandra Michell. Sandra cut her teeth in tournament play at last week's one-day local club tournament and decided to start attending Club #565 on a regular basis.

Back from the winter break, Nathan Benedict showed up and proceeded to mop the floor with almost all he played save for Judith Whitcomb, who was able to emerge on top in a game against him. We also welcomed the return of Rex Kremer, who has been laying low since November. Nathan and Rex, relaxed from their hiatus, placed first and second for this session. Congratulations.

Picking up the "MLK Prize" for the highest-scoring work using the M, L, and K tiles was Naurlene Canternam for a 30-point play of MILK. The prize for high game goes to Nathan Benedict for a 544 pointer. Nobody nailed a bingo of nine or more letters, and the pot for doing so is now at $4. Additionally, nobody was able to play a Triple-Triple, and that prize is now at $27 dollars.

Next session (30 January) will feature prizes for:
- Highest game (a quarter of dues collected)
- Triple-Triple plays ($27.00 plus an eighth of dues collected)
- 9+ Bingos  ($4.00 plus an eighth of dues collected)
- High Z Play. A prize will be awarded to the player who plays the highest-scoring word that contains the Z tile (e.g., FEZ, IZAR, ZEBUS, ATOMIZE, etc.). To win this prize, you must play the actual Z tile (designating a blank as a Z does not count) and not add onto a previously-played Z word.
(a quarter of dues collected).
