The West Wateree and Camden Clubs held a trivia night fundraiser and social on Wednesday, September 18th. Members from each club utilized vast stores of useless knowledge to earn the honor of holding on to a beautiful stuffed squirrel, which functioned as an official trophy for the event. Funds generated through sponsorships and member participation were split between the two clubs.The Camden Club won by one point, ostensibly without any funny business. A rematch will be held in January.
