East Greenwich Seniors are meeting for some social time and playing games. They have been playing a large variety of games, including card games, board games, tile games, and other standards.
You are welcome to bring a game and see who would like to play it with you or come join in games with others. Come out to meet new friends or reacquaint yourself with someone from the past at this casual friendly get-together.
