We continue to meet THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS every week.  Thursday sessions are regular playing sessions, and we basically meet for games.  Saturday sessions are study sessions where we get together to do some problems and other fun stuff.  Thursdays we play at the Hopkins Center Cafe in Hanover (next to the Hood Museum Shop) from 2pm to 8pm (just drop by within that time slot).  Most Saturdays we play at the Hopkins Center Cafe from 2pm to 5pm.  On the second Saturday of every month, we usually play at Borders Cafe inside Borders Bookstore at 285 Plainfield Road, West Lebanon from 2pm to 5pm.
