3:15 PM-5:15 PM on Tue

There is no fee for this course, but registration is required.

Scrabble meets every week at the Temple during our four regular semesters. All levels are welcome, and game boards are provided. Players are rotated by the coordinators so that you play with different people every week—typically in groups of three, though sometimes we have a table of four or a table of two. We permit players to use Scrabble dictionaries during the game; we respectfully ask that you only look up a word you have in mind to verify that it is, indeed, a word, and not spend your whole turn poring over the dictionary looking for a better word than the one you already have! You don’t need to attend every week, but you do need to register to participate.

Please plan to arrive at about 3:00 pm, or a few minutes after. We need the time from 3:00-3:15 to set up the boards and players so that we can start playing right at 3:15. We generally have three to five games in play and there is room for more. Hopefully, you’ll become a regular. Betty and Tracey will be on hand for documentation and rule clarification and to create our groups each week, and we shall see if Pete will continue to hold onto his distinction as our Scrabble icon.

Then join us afterwards, if you wish, for supper at a Providence restaurant. We have a list of nine restaurants that we rotate through – three general menu restaurants, two pizza places, and Greek, Chinese, Indian, and Thai restaurants. There we can relax and unwind in a convivial group.

Coordinators: Betty Havrylik and Tracey Zeckhausen have coordinated the Scrabble Social Club before.

Betty Havrylik is a retired reference librarian/archivist who has given tours of Providence for the Providence Preservation Society and the Rhode Island Historical Society.

Tracey Zeckhausen is a retired P.R. professional and active volunteer who has loved the game of Scrabble since she was old enough to spell. She has been coordinating the group for the past several sessions.
