Club Spotlight - Playing Card ClubBy Casey Wachter Staff Writer The playing card club is a started at SU this semester. The club meetings are a time to get together and play games like hearts, pinochle and spades. Joseph Esposito, an information systems major, and history major Jessica DiPietro started the club officially two weeks ago. "The first half of the meeting, we teach a new game to everyone who attends. The second half is a free for all; everyone can play what they choose," DiPietro said. "The club is a place to have fun and relax. It is all fun now but there may be a possibility for tournaments in the future," Esposito said. The club has about 11 members right now and is welcoming more people to join. "We are open to everyone, even if you are not a seasoned card player. We will teach you. And if you know anything about cards, you can teach us," DiPietro said. The members play a variety of games including 3 to 13, rummy, hearts and pinochle. Learning and playing new games is also a reoccurring group activity. "This is a great chance to play a fun game of cards and to meet new people," said Del Grosso, communications major and club member. Biology professor Dr. Mark Holland is the advisor for the club. According to Holland, he met the students while playing bridge with them last semester. Stemming from that, the playing card club was organized. "I have always enjoyed playing cards and honestly, before I met these students, I didn’t know jack about spades," Holland said. Not only is the card club a place to go and play a fun game, but it’s also a place to meet new people and share a common interest. The club meets weekly and is looking for anyone who is interested in enjoying a night of card-playing and relaxing. It is a chance to get away from the books for a short time and be surrounded by great company and a good time. The club meets every Wednesday in Henson 213 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. Comments/Opinions (0) | Add your comment/opinion..
