UWOSA In The Community

November 9, 2009 - 21:17 — DanaLowry

On November the 7th, a couple of us went to the London Coffee House to help the staff and to visit with the clients who use this service. Steve Patterson and I had some rousing games of 31, dice and 13 - which were taught to us by the clients and staff. I learned that Steve is quite the risk-taker when it comes to dice, and I also learned that playing 13 requires a calculator and a rule book.
