The Matharpacady Residents Welfare Association organised the Whist Drive at St. Isabel’s High School hall on, 13th November 2018. Mr. Gerard Viegas, alongwith Stanislaus Baptista and Dennis Baptista helped to conducted the Whist Drive. The  twenty eight participants were eagerly applying their minds and skills at this enjoyable card game in friendship and cheer, in two sessions of six card games each. Hot tea, biscuits and piping hot snacks were served at the break.
