The Details
We play a casual and friendly 5-round game with a different partner for each round.
Euchre season begins again in just 3.5 weeks! Due to a number of factors, attendance is now largely comprised of non-club members. This was never the intent of our Euchre event; it was always intended to be a fun evening of camaraderie and socializing around a friendly and casual game of cards where one could meet fellow members who also enjoy the game.
Starting Sept 20, Euchre Night will be a Members Only event held in my home, with a new buy-in price of $5. I will provide some very light snacks, but please eat dinner before arriving and BYOB. Please plan to pay your $5 at the door and bring quarters for euchres.
Due to space, we are limited to 19 players (4 tables w/3 sitting out per game) with sign-ups on the website beginning 2 weeks before the event. There will also be a waitlist if it is full when you try to sign up.
Please be courteous to others by cancelling your sign-up ASAP if you cannot make it; by doing so, the next person on the waitlist will automatically be moved onto the player list.
Let’s play cards!

Ski one of the true heavyweights of alpine skiing in the western Austrian Alps
Trip Leaders: Dan Flynn & Ed Brambs
Register Now to Reserve your Spot
While the steep and deep remains St Anton's big draw, it also has a lot to offer more leisurely skiers, particularly with its recent links to the ski area of neighboring Lech-Zürs.
With its formidable expert terrain, impressive snow record and legendary après-ski, St Anton-am-Arlberg is one of the true heavyweights of alpine skiing. St Anton-am-Arlberg is located in the Tirol province of the western Austrian Alps. St Anton is often described as being in the “Arlberg” region - not an official region per se, but rather an umbrella term used for the collective marketing of the resorts of St Anton, Lech-Zürs and Warth-Schröcken. Skiing in St Anton takes place on both sides of the valley. To the south, Rendl is a small and uncrowded area of skiing ideal for all levels of skier, which sits both above and below the treeline on mostly north-facing slopes. The bulk of St Anton’s slopes are on its north side, however, which is split into three areas (Gampen, Valluga and Galzig). These mostly south-facing slopes are accessed by several different lifts both close to the village centre and further down the valley. This side is also home to most of the resort’s legendary off-piste. From Galzig, you can also ski over to Stuben, which then provides an onwards link to Lech-Zürs.
