    2018/19 Pinochle 

    If you would like to play pinochle this year please contact Jacqui or Vickie. We will need to know if you are a playing as a regular or sub and if you would like to host. As we did last year, we will only use subs if regular players cannot play and they are needed.

    TRI-V PINOCHLE 2018-2019 Rules/Guidelines
    Pinochle for the season will start on Sunday, October 21. Pinochle will be played on the third Sunday of the month, unless notified. We will be playing in individual homes.
    1. Starting time will be 3:30 p.m., with cards starting at 4:00 p.m. The host will collect and keep $2.00 per guest. The host provides cards, ice and snacks. Guests are to bring their own drinks and a dish to share for the evening.
    2. Each host will receive tallies and schedules. Hosts will number the tallies. All players will draw from the same group of numbered tallies. Your partner may be a man or woman. The number of your tally will coincide with the schedule. The schedule provides information on partners and tables. Each player will play six games. Make sure your name is on the tally. Put your partner’s number on the tally for each round. This is for checking scores, if necessary.
    3. Reneges should always be corrected if possible. If unable to correct and the bidding team is guilty, the bidder is set. If unable to correct and the renege is not made by the bidding team, then the bid is automatically made.
    4. The prize money will be based on the number of couples playing that evening. $3.00 PRIZE money will be collected from ALL players. Prize money will be distributed at the end of the evening.
    5. If a hand is opened, re-bidding is allowed. Bidding ends when three (3) consecutive passes have been made AFTER the last bid. If you pass, you may re-enter the bidding. For example, you may wish to give your partner a meld bid, if he bids after you have already passed.
    6. Guests who cannot play must, give three day notice to Jacqui or Vickie.
    7. Please notify the committee NOT the host if you need a sub

    AUGUST MEMORIES 

    MEMORIES FROM THE AUGUST 2008 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    Several members of the TRI-V Family were ailing and in need of our prayers this month. Art Trachsel continues to recover from his knee replacement surgery the first part of July. Terry Dunham’s father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in New York. Terry in the meantime came down with TIA or mini stroke and continues suffering with the problem the middle of August. We ask all to continue to remember them in your prayers. Jan and Cal Cashman visited their son in San Diego CA the first part of June visiting all parts of the area while Judy and John Lardin made a trip to Corpus Christi TX to visit son, Larry and family and help while he and Kim opened their family style restaurant. Shirley and Bill Suchner’s planned trip on a paddlewheel boat from St. Paul MN to St. Louis MO was changed due to flooding on the upper Mississippi River and the trip started at Cincinnati OH instead. While on the “cruise” Bill came down with a 24 hour virus and Shirley caught one the next day. Not quite the trip they planned. John took delivery of his new Ford Flex (red box). He finally found a vehicle that gave him ample, leg and shoulder room. The Steak Roast was set for Aug. 9 at Mettala Park, Wixom and Final Golf set for the weekend of Aug. 16. The Tri-V Family Picnic was held July 27 at Mettala Park, Wixom, with 55 adults and 26 children in attendance. Michelle and Jay Trachsel won the egg toss and Bill Suchner and Sherry Kuhr won the golf chipping contest.

    MEMORIES FROM THE AUGUST 2013 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

    August of 2013 everyone was in good health. Tim Gies is officially retired as of May 3. Tim and Karlyn celebrated a wedding in Caseville, MI and then a trip to Anchorage, Alaska followed by a cruise to Van Couver, Canada and then to Seattle, Washington and ending in San Francisco. August proves to be a busy month for Judy Lardin. After almost a year she was able to close on her mom’s house July 26 in Illinois. Judy thought she would be able to relax but circumstances have made it necessary for her to perform her grandmother duties which she does enjoy. John and Judy made a trip to Idaho to visit her last surviving uncle on her mother’s side during August. Michelle Trachsel had a busy summer; on top of working, keeping up with the kids, moving into a new house, playing softball, volleyball, and golf, she managed to find time to train for some cool events. In June she completed her first Tough Mudder in Brooklyn for a twelve mile run and in July she completed her tenth career Triathlon. The girl’s weekend is scheduled for September 24 and 25 at the Frederick Meijer’s garden in Grand Rapids, MI. Final golf is scheduled for the weekend of August 16-18 in Gaylord. The Steak Roast is scheduled for August 31 at Mettala Park, Wixom. The Tri-V annual picnic was held July 13 attended by 18 club members and 1 perspective family for a total of 45 adults and 29 children. We are now in what they call the dog days of summer and needless to say this has been a hot summer with very little rain. Next month we will be getting ready for the little ones to start school. Maybe now would be a good time to share the memories you went through when you started school, maybe the first time in grade school, junior high or high school. Were you nervous? Mom or dad wanted to walk you there but you thought as a first grader you were too old to have them walk with you? Perhaps now take the time to talk about those special days this summer you enjoyed as a family, the picnic, vacation out of town or the trip to an amusement park. Share these memories, don’t let them pass. Until we see you in print next month, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

    John Lardin Update 

    JOHN LARDIN UPDATE

    John is still doing outpatient therapy for his right hip. He’s hoping to be able to play golf later this fall. John restarted chemo treatments July 10. John had to be off chemo two weeks prior to surgery and four weeks after surgery. The chemo treatments are now done at the hospital which makes for a longer day—get admitted as a short stay and usually there six hours or longer. When they administered at the cancer center, took about four hours. Beaumont/Botsford is hoping to build an Infusion Center, thus the change.

    John and Judy have tickets for “Toto” and Ron White, comedian, Paula Abdul, Paul Anka, and Lord of the Rings at Caesar’s in Windsor. Judy says “too much”.

    We ask you to remember all those in Tri-V and anyone else who may need our prayers. Prayers do work.

    The children’s games started around 2:30 with all children 7 and under participating and finding hidden eggs containing 20 cents each. Each child found 5 eggs then held others until everyone had 5 eggs. They then played a hopping race while holding a balloon between their legs. This game was won by Laney Trachsel with Piper Trachsel placing 2nd. The rest of the games that followed any child how wanted to play was allowed since there weren’t enough kids to play games by age groups. Games and winner below (winner received $1 2nd place 25 cents

    August President’s Message 

    Another month of summer has come and gone. July was full of sun and fun. Camping, swimming, and baseball were the big activities for us. Hopefully everyone has enjoyed the sun and heat this summer. The Tri-V picnic was a lot of fun as usual. The kids enjoyed the games and playing together. Thanks to Ryan, Lee, and Jay for planning this event. This month we will have the men’s final golf weekend in Oscoda and the steak roast. Keep in mind that our regular meetings start up again in September. Plan on attending the meetings the second Tuesday of each month at Drakeshire Lanes.
