DECEMBER 9, 2025 - APPLE TRIVIA GAME and MEMBERSHIP REWARDS DRAWING:
For this evening our president, John Connor, has created four rounds of five Apple-themed trivia questions. Zoom will allow us to breakout into smaller teams to answer the questions, then we will come back to the main room to go over the answers. To play all you need is to bring a piece of paper and pen or pencil with you to the meeting.
The teams of 3 or possibly 2 players will be formed randomly with the number of teams determined by the number of total participants at tonight’s meeting.
When you are in your smaller groups, you will see the five questions and have a maximum of five minutes to discuss and record your answers. (Teams are on their honor not to look up any answers.) When you finish your answers, or that time limit is reached, you can come back to the main room and John will go over the answers for that round.
Each team will keep track of how many they got right and then the teams will be sent back to their small groups to answer the next set of questions.
When all four rounds are completed, teams will be asked how many total questions out of 20 they have right. We anticipate $15 and $10 Apple gift cards for the first and second place teams respectively.
At the end of the trivia game, the membership rewards drawing will be held and four lucky members will be chosen to receive a $100 Apple gift card. Anyone is welcome to play, so invite your friends.
