Back for its tenth year, Wordplay 2017, benefiting Literacy Volunteers of Charolttesville/ Albermarle (LVCA), delivered an exciting and enjoyable time for all attending, and raised $35,476! Held at the Paramount Theatre on the 27th of April, some in the audience described the event as “Jeopardy” on steroids. Wordplay is a team-based competition for people who love words, vocabulary, pop culture, history, literature, and raising money for a worthy charitable cause. Ably represented by Jeff Elmore, Mark Francis, and the veteran team member Deane Parker, our team held their own against the many other teams and did the Club proud by their performance! Thanks too to Sherry for her role in organizing the Club presence, and to Bruce Russell and Kim Butcher for serving as Team alternates. Congratulations and thanks to our team!
