+ Session NotesThis was our 47th session of the season. Thirteen folks were in attendance. We welcomed Norma Paxson, a new player to our club. Norma has been coordinating a School Scrabble program here in town and decided to pay us a visit. We also welcomed back Bob and Judith Whitcomb. The Whitcombs returned from their summer hiatus in West Virginia. Welcome all! This session saw 27,177 points and 83 bingos played during 37 games. Only three of the bingos played were phonies that went unchallenged, and the averages per game work out to 734.52 points-per-game and 2.244 bingos-per-game. Five games were won with scores of 500 or better, with Naurlene Canterman turning in the night's highest score of 561 points. We also saw Nathan Benedict turn in scores of 551, 539, and 525. Lewis Saul rounded out the 500 Club with an even score of 500. Naurlene Canterman was the top player of the evening. Nathan Benedict was the Bingo King this session with 13 bingos in 7 games. Items of interest this session included Bob Whitcomb as King of the Q Stick, making both Jason Sommer and Josh Kassel eat the Q in two of his games. Congratulations to Gary Wagman for breaking the 1000 mark in his club rating with a 2-2 scorecard that earned him 35 points to end up at 1006. The evening's contests were for Low Win, which was won by Monique Kornell with a 340-point victory. The "3 Big Plays" contest goes to Naurlene Canterman by putting down COWERING for 64, followed by OOZED for 54, and then COMPLIED for 90. Naurlene's 208 points in three consecutive turns beat out Lewis Saul's 154 points in three consecutive turns as well as Ed Saunders' 147. Way to go! Monique and Naurlene take home prizes of $5.50 each. None of the four Jackpot prizes were won this evening, and each shall have $1.50 added to it. Additionally, nobody scored points in the Alphabet Bingo Contest by playing a bingo starting with the letter W. Ed is still in first place. Next Session (16
