Friends of New Concord Inc. is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote social and economic change in the village.
The non-profit hosted a Euchre tournament on March 15 to raise money for sidewalk improvements. The tournament, hosted at Triad Labs, charged $20 per person and $15 per student to enter.
A room filled with euchre players hoping to win the prize at the end of the night. The event was organized by Friends of New Concord Inc.
Friends of New Concord Inc. co-founders Kristen Centa and Julie Metry said 36 players and nine volunteers came together from 5:30-9:30 p.m. with pizza and beer available.
“We are very grateful that Greg Adams loaned us the building to use. Yes. So without people volunteering and offering up things to help us, we wouldn’t be able to it,” Centa said.
The night ended with Mary Beth Caudill winning the $150 grand prize and a free night at the Garland Hotel.
“Thanks to the community that are here and are…giving us a chance and coming out and supporting us and having a good time. That’s what we’re here for,” said Metry.
