Over 70 members in less a little over a year could be argued for one of the fastest growing clubs ever seen on this campus. The Zenn club has risen to the challenge in all its forms.

It all started when I got my dad a Zenn board as a gift for Christmas two years prior and the idea to revive the club hit me. I contacted one of my good friends, Mark McHugh, who had a similar affinity to the game as me, and from there we never looked back.

Believe it or not. this is not the Zenn club’s first stint on campus. It was formed in 1973 and slowed down in 2008. It was Ignatius’s biggest club for a period of time boasting over 175 members.

There’s a big tournament coming up called the Spring Fling with free pastries and gift card prizes. Nick Serio ‘16 is the club’s perennial champ, but he’s liable to be unseated by a dark horse. Stop by Room 231 on Mondays to try your hand on the boards and see what all the noise is about.
