The Bluff City Dice Divas, a local bunco group formed out of love for charity and friendship, put their philanthropic efforts toward MIFA Senior Programs last December. Several of the members met one chilly Friday night to assemble 30 gift bags, then delivered them to MIFA the next day. Members have been meeting monthly during the past two years to play bunco (a dice game) and enjoy a potluck dinner, with each member contributing $5 for a designated charity. These ladies include Tiffany Brimhall, Amina Dilawari, Rebecca Eminger Lard, Molly Fitzpatrick, Leah Fitzpatrick Bowles, Missy Flinn, Jacki Jeffrey, Gwen Martin, Amanda Mauck, Lauren McGee, Pat Mitchell Worley, Jackie Ruick McCrary, Elizabeth Rouse, Maggie Schmitt, Pooja Shah, Crissy Smith Lintner, and Erica Smith.
