NORWICH – Literacy Volunteers of Chenango County is gearing up for the second installment of Scrabble® for Literacy. Held in June and October, the twice-yearly event is the non-profit organization’s largest fundraiser.

This installment of the event will take place from 1 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23 at the Norwich Branch of Morrisville State College, 20 Conkey Ave. in Norwich.

“We’re looking forward to a good turnout” reported LVCC Program Coordinator Kelly Sines. While the event draws a steady stream of regulars, new participants are always welcome, said Sines.

Sines recommends forming teams of two to three players. Those looking for fun and friendly competition, will find it in the Beginner or Intermediate categories. Those looking for more cut-throat competition, can challenge themselves in the Advanced class.

The cost to participate is $10 per person in advance, or $12 at the door. Additional pledges are welcome, and sponsorships are available as well.
