The Trivia Bee

Thank you to all who joined us -- the teams, team and event sponsors, and spectators -- at the Trivia Bee on Saturday, March 25. We truly appreciate your support. 

Congratulations to the big winners of the evening, Hive Minds! Sponsored by Lizbeth for Melrose, the team included Lizbeth DeSelm, Tina DeSelm, Betsey Benagh and Alexander Gvakharia. 

The competition was fierce, and the Hive Minds just eked out their win over second place Taxmanian Devils (sponsored by Mallon Tax Consultants) in a tiebreaker question.


Other top teams for the evening included The Mighty Mitzvahs (Temple Beth Shalom) in 3rd place, the Brodeur Bees (Mayor Brodeur's office) in 4th place, and a three way tie for 5th between the Rosie Ravens (Roosevelt PTO), the Franklin Foxes (Franklin PTO), and The Moops (the Leo Family).


Thank you to all our teams and team sponsors (listed below). You can find more information about the event in our online event program.
