Rose City Scrabble Club

Hello LOJ SCRABBLE club!

The State Tournament is coming up in a couple weeks, do you think you're ready?

The Rose City Scrabble Club meets on Tuesdays at the Lakewood Center at 6:45 pm, and if you're looking for some practice, this is a great idea.  The games are singular; you'll have to manage the scoring, timing, tracking, and such by yourself, but playing with pros in a tournament setting will prepare you for state.

Each Tuesday, there are four 45 minute games for $3.00, though you can pay $2.00 and only stay for two if you wish.

If you decide to go, please remember that you are representing yourself, and your school; please act respectful, appropriate, and try your best.

Good luck!
