Words for a cause: Fundraising Scrabble starts at Skylark

On the left, with her Scrabble game face on, that’s Jessie SK, proprietor of Skylark Café and Club (WSB sponsor) in North Delridge. We dropped by last week as she and friends practiced for tomorrow night’s debut of fundraising Scrabble tournaments at Skylark. Every Monday night from here on out, you can go to Skylark to play Scrabble, with the entry fee going to a good cause. Tomorrow night (and every first Monday), the beneficiary will be Team Tracy, the breast-cancer-fighting-and-awareness-raising 3 Day for the Cure team (whose namesake/leader Tracy Dart is a former Skylark employee); other nonprofits are set (or being lined up) for the other Monday nights. The Skylark website has the full story; signups are at 7 pm Mondays, first game at 7:15. (Skylark opens for happy hour/dinner at 3 pm, so you’re welcome to chow down before your wordplay.)

    OMG, best idea ever! I personally don’t like the game but if I had a friend playing I’d toss in a few bucks for the cause. Hint hint, get a team together and get your friends to donate!

    oh that is an awesome idea. I will have to tell my husband. he can play in person rather than on facebook. plus, I am not a good enough match for him, which isn’t good cause I really hate losing.

    The ‘test drive’ went really well last Monday! It was fun and what a GREAT community idea–way to go Jessie!

    Remember…21 and under can play too!

    Fantastic idea.
    Is this going to be going on every Monday?
    Do we need to bring our Scrabble boards with us?
    Are we using the official Scrabble dictionary?
    Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

      Hi – re: every Monday, yes, that should be in one of the links. Scrabble boards are there. Not sure about the dictionary – we’ll see if anybody shows up with that info! – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
