A message from the group:

"Our Pinochle Group was formed at the Senior Center about eighteen years ago. We started with just four players. We had first to make up our own "House Rules" because we each played a little differently before coming to Charlottesville. We agreed to meet on Thursday afternoons and for eighteen years we have kept the same time and place.

The number of players has gradually increased till we had twelve for a few years. We started using 2 decks for four players and 3 decks for five players. Some hadn't played with more than one deck before but we soon got used to holding all those cards and wouldn't want to go back to using a single deck.

Over the years our membership has dwindled until now we only have 4 or 5 players each week. We would really love to have some new people who would like to renew their interest in playing Pinochle, or anyone who would like to learn how to play.

It is a fun game and is very easy to learn and we would certainly welcome anyone who would like to sit in and observe before joining in."
