- WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 - Happy Hour/NTN Trivia Night
Join Delaware Mensa on the First and Third Wednesdays, and second Thursday, of each month for some after-work cocktails and a little friendly competition as we play another round of NTN Trivia. You've probably seen NTN Trivia at a favorite bar or restaurant. It's a nationwide trivia network, with rounds of games played 24 hours a day. You answer the questions shown on the TV screen by using a small voting device. If you've never played before, it's highly addictive! Come out and see what it's all about, and challenge your fellow Mensans. And we're not competive at all....

- POSTPONED – BLACK MARKET KNITTING
During WWII, my great-great uncle had a thriving black-market business in his Army service in Europe. Meat? - no. Cigarettes? - no. Booze? – no (his still was too heavy to carry around). Playing Cards? - no (although he said the new plastic ones would have been a huge hit...).
Socks. Yes, socks. His mother had insisted that all her children learn to sew, cook and knit well; and he was >very< good at knitting socks. And scarves, and hats and gloves. Many soldiers received gifts, lovingly knit, which just - weren't quite - what they needed. My uncle would, for a fee, unravel, redesign and knit-to-fit anything anyone wanted to pay him to do!
Socks made him the most money, as you can guess...an army marches on its feet (apologies to Napoleon). Several ladies in Germany insisted he was holding the yarn incorrectly, so he learned that method as well.
Then, he taught me to knit....which means I don't have any of the fancy techniques in the books - but I can make almost anything. Ever knitted? Never knitted? Drop in and I'll have needles, yarn, simple patterns and some easy lessons (or bring your own goodie to start...) My husband will show off his neck-warmer, carefully designed to use while riding motorcycles and working in ship rigging; and easy to make. Of course we'll have some food.
DATE: TBD
TIME: 1:00-4:00 p.m.
PLACE: Regina Barry's home in Wilmington
Please RSVP and to get directions, contact Regina at rmbarry1066 <at>earthlink <dot> net, or call 302-655-0290.
