14^th Annual Scrabble set for Sept. 30

MONTICELLO – The 14^th Annual Scrabble Fun(d) Tournament has been scheduled for Sept. 30, 6:30 p.m., at the American Legion on Washington Street in East Monticello.

                The annual tournament is the major fundraiser for the Literacy Volunteers of White County. This year the organization’s need is great because the GED test is changing to another test for people to acquire their high school education.
                There is one change to the tournament this year. Instead of 30 minutes to complete the Scrabble board, teams will only be given 20 minutes. The change came about to end the competition before 8 p.m. so that contestants don’t miss Dancing With The Stars on television.
                The night of fun also includes a raffle of many items donated by local businesses.  Some are silent auction items, like a night at the Lighthouse Lodge Bed and Breakfast.
                Teams are limited to two to six members. However, individuals can sign up and they will be assigned to a smaller team. To sign up, call (574) 583-0789 or come to the event.
