Team Swinging on 2/1

Are you interested in swinging or swapping?  No, not that kind of swinging & swapping. Team swapping. A few of our long-time teams are interested in switching teams for the night. If you want to meet some new people and play on a different team, show up @ 7, and meet up with members of Cmdr Riker or Fresnocity up near the front table. They'll draw names around 7:45 and go from there.

Possible fun extra to go along with your swinging experience.
