They're Not Just Computer Geeks!

(Belated) kudos go out to the folks in our Information Technology Department who claimed victory at MCC's first-ever Trivia Night!

The Tech-Know Geeks squeaked out a win, barely edging past the Queen Bees in Pursuit of Happiness and the Mickey Mouse Club to claim bragging rights at the first trivia tourney, held Friday night at the Bedford cafe.

More than 100 folks joined teams for the event, which by all indications, was a ton of fun for folks.  Special shout-out to the MCC hockey team, who showed up that night as ringers, and nearly captured the win!

Thanks to judges President Carole Cowan and Provost Mary-Jane McCarthy, the 100 questions were graded fairly, with the results being posted on running scoreboards alongside the judges.

An over-abundance of food was on hand for the night, too, since most teams brought their own tail-gate-esque spreads and shared the food around.  Noisemakers, decorations, costumes, the night had it all!

Thanks also to the other groups - Ask us Something We Know, the M&Ms, the MCC Global Trotters: From Here to Infinity, El Conquistadors, the Beach Combers, the EKGs, and the FAO Wizards.

The event ended up raising some nice funds for the MCC Annual Fund, an extra bonus to the night.

The buzz is already out there, and it's not coming from the Queen Bees.  Look for a return engagement of the event sometime in the fall!  Hope to see everyone there! (In the meantime, here's a look at some of the other trivia geeks among us.)

On behalf of the MCC Global Trotters: From Here to Infinity team (see bottom photo), I'd like to set the record straight. Tied for second were the MCC Global Trotters and the Queen Bees. Not sure where the Mickey Mouse Club placed. It was a really fun night, and the Global Trotters will be back!!!!

I'd also like to point out that the President was so moved by costumes and presentations that she decided to award a special prize, the President's Award, to the team with the best costumes and presentation.  That award went to the MCC Global Trotters:  From Here to Infinity.
