On January 3rd, 2009, the guild will be holding its 2nd Roc Day Celebration. Just like many guilds who hold a Roc Day event, we will have vendors, a dish-to-pass-luncheon for members and guests, kids corner, raffles and more.. Instead of inviting a speaker.. we’ve chosen to have our first winter games..

Suggestions for the 1st Summer Games
Watermelon-seed spitting and stone skipping contests. If we have inclement weather and move inside, there will be pick up sticks and jacks.
The Summer Games are subject to the majority vote from the body of the talented members of the guild who are dedicated to preserving fun and laughter whenever they meet.
