On Saturday, April 16th, the Greentown Branch of First Farmers Bank & Trust held the first ever Cards for the Cure Euchre Tournament at the Greentown Lions Club building. Overall, 16 teams entered the tournament and a total of $468.00 was raised and donated to the Howard County Relay for Life.
The teams played progressive euchre. Each team started together and played two rounds. Losing teams switched tables and played a winning team, but they had to trade partners at that table. They played 12 rounds total and joined up at the end with their original partners and combined both scores for a grand total of points.
During the tournament, names were drawn and doorprizes were awarded. A coolpix digital camera, provided by Sears and the Kokomo Central branch, went to Judy Cannon. A Texas Roadhouse gift certificate, provided by Dawn Wisler, went to Terry Wright. A Windmill Grill gift certificate went to Evelyn Sellers.
The runners up in the competition were Phyllis Bowland and Phyllis Picket, with a total of 163 points. Coming in just ahead of them as Champions of the Tournament were Mary Lou Callis and Don Wicher, with a total of 165 points. Congratulations to our winners!
The Greentown branch appreciates all of the support that the community has shown for their events to benefit Relay for Life and enjoy coming up with new ways to raise money for a great cause.
