If one needs proof that the minds behind local nonprofit Tacoma Community House are sharp, they need look no further than Scrabble Rousers, a growing Tacoma tradition held on the fourth Wednesday of every month that was created and designed to help raise funds and awareness for Tacoma Community House's mission - providing "education, employment, multilingual services, and advocacy for refugees, immigrants, and English speaking adults and youth." Wednesday, July 27, Scrabble Rousers will present a "Clowns vs. Mimes"-style Scrabble throwdown, inviting players of all ages and skill levels to break out their face paint and rubber noses at King's Book's. It costs $10, begins at 6:30 p.m. and it'll be totally worth it just to see King's Books' owner sweet pea emcee without saying a word. Honk!
