The group includes amateurs and very experienced players---everyone will fit in and is welcome.  Lacking a partner?  We’ll find one for you.

Hippity hop, hippity hop,
Will the Easter Bunny stop?
Will he leave a treat behind
An Easter basket for me to find?

I'll look over here, I'll look over there,
I'll look behind things, I'll look everywhere.
I'll look until I find my treat,
And then I'll sit right down and eat.
By our local poetess: Theresa Bednarek
