St. Bernard
Pinochle Club

Doors open at 6 p.m., allowing for snacking and chatting time before play begins at 6:30.
This group plays a special version of four- and five-handed double deck pinochle that gives bonus points for combinations of cards. All pinochle players can learn this version in a matter of minutes with crib sheets at each table reminding them of all the bonuses.
Admission is $1 per person, and all prize money is distributed at the end of each evening of play. Attendees are asked to bring a snack to pass. The club provides coffee and ice water.
There are no annual dues. A member of the committee will call each player the week before the game to reserve their seat for the night. The only requirement is that players are asked to call if they have a change of plans and will be unable to attend.
To join, to gather more information or to make reservations, call Dorleen Kessler at 479-876-1167.
