  • Aftershock Yellow Cake – Thank you!

    Aftershock Yellow Cake – Thank you!

    Our Aftershock Yellow Cake game day was a success!

    Heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who got up early on Saturday morning to set up and stayed late to clean up.

    More thanks to the game runners who provide the content we all got to enjoy.

    And thanks as well to you gamers who spent their time entertaining us as much as we entertained them. Not to mention the box full of food and cash donations that you all brought for Holy Cross’s food pantry — thanks for that, too.

    Don’t forget that we’re doing it all again on Saturday August 2 at The Game Shoppe Bellevue at Gen Can’t Game Day!
