St. Joseph's Church Trivia Night

The highly successful trivia night took place at St. Joseph's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Oakville (home of a brand new UCU ATM).Over 25 teams participated! 

The team from Ukrainian Credit Union Limited, pictured below, didn't know what to expect since it was the first time any of us had participated in the Trivia Night. Well we were in for a good time. We had no idea how any people would be there and how knowledgeable they were! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was electric.


Team UCU: Diane Comtois, JEan Comtois, Yuriy Nesvit and Roman Babej. Not pictured Yuriy Diakunchak

After the first round the UCU team was in second place. We could not believe our eyes! In the second round we captured 1st place and hung on to it till the bitter end when in the 7th round, team #10 tied with us. A tension filled bonus round followed, but at the end we were still tied!

After a short break Team #10 and Team UCU got down to it once more. And finally we came out ahead by one point.  It was a tough fight and we take our hats off to the members of Team #10. We look forward to meeting them again next year for a rematch.

The second place team sitting they preferred the name "Team #1"
unfortunately that was already taken by team UCU

























The award we received - The Myska Moodrosty or Bowl of Wisdom - alone was worth the trip to Trivia Night. We are already planning our return next year and recruiting eager new competitors to our team.

Myska Moodrosty (St. Joseph's kindly let us take it home for a bit to show the rest of the staff,
but we promise to bring it back!










A very well attended event. The banquet hall at St. Joseph's was pretty well at capacity.
