Family Game Night
 
When was the last time you played Monopoly?  Risk?  Life?  Uno?  Pente?  We are hosting a game night just for the FUN of it!  Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your neighbors, bring your neighbor's friends, bring your neighbor's family and join us in the MDPC Jim Guess Activities Building for a relaxing social evening of games.  The evening will begin around 7:00 p.m. until 9:30-ish with light snacks and refreshment.
 
Don't worry, there will be plenty of games to choose from, or you can certainly bring your favorite to share!

Afterwards, the youth are invited to stay for the lock-in!  More fun and games and very little sleep!
 
Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 16 and come join us!
