This is purely to get to know each other. Meetings will be held once a month at the Remnant Church Gathering Place. Our meeting for March will be held on Saturday, March 4^th at 6:30 p.m. It will be a Clue Murder Mystery scavenger hunt. We will be playing Clue except there will be no gameboard, no dice, just cards. It’s a scavenger hunt for all the hidden cards and you will have to work together to find out who did it!
