We need one more for Saturday’s game at Tony Prokes’ home in Des Plaines. The game will begin at 11 a.m. and end by 4 p.m. Who’s in? Check out the March Madness schedule.
Here are links to two more stories about Allan Calhamer. The first is a wonderfully written obituary from the New York Times. It was shared by several people on Facebook last week. The second is from the Atlantic Cities website. It was brought to our attention by club newcomer Josh Heffernan.
Sympathy for the Don(vil)
By the end of last week’s game at the Red Lion, our club’s 206th contest, most of the board was on Team Don. Check out the game summary.

CODCon Is Coming
Our seventh annual CODCon Open Diplomacy tournament tips off at the College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn in five weeks. Please make your plans to join us. The dates are April 20-21, and the format will be the same as in past years, with the exception that there will be a hard ending of midnight for play on Saturday.
