Grab a dictionary and brush up on those words that start with the letter “Q”! It’s time for Literacy Volunteers’ 15th Annual Scrabble Challenge.
The event, which is co-chaired by Greenwich residents Joli Gross and Ann Croll and Rob Vendig of Stamford, will be held Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. at the Greenwich Hyatt Regency. The Scrabble Challenge brings together families, school groups and members of the business community for an evening of friendly competition. Players will enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction and two rounds of Scrabble.
All proceeds will support Literacy Volunteers’ English-language, literacy and education services offered to residents of Fairfield County.
Teams (up to three players) are forming now and a number of sponsorship opportunities are available. Teams are eligible to participate in three divisions: Corporate, Friends and Family and Schools.
