FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2019 57
Ping Pong
To usher in the holiday season, the Four Seasons Table Tennis Club held its
Annual Mixed Doubles Holiday Tournament on Dec. 8, followed by a Pot Luck Party,
where members enjoyed pizza along with their favorite dishes.
Although most table tennis tournaments tend to be events that divide players
by official ranking or age group, the FSTTC contest was simply an open draw that
paired members of all skill levels to play together in a fun, yet competitive, contest.
No real winners or losers here.
This year is shaping up to be a robust and successful one for the Four Seasons
Table Tennis Club. Our mission in 2019 is to grow our membership by encouraging
folks in our community to stop by The Courts from 10 am to 4 pm Monday through
Saturday for the chance to either try the game for the first time, or perhaps relive the
days of chasing table tennis balls around their basements or garages.
Table tennis is a sport that can be played all year round. In addition to being an
excellent cardio workout, the games demand for acute hand/eye coordination and
quick reflexes has been proven to have superb physical and mental health benefits
for seniors, regardless of athletic ability.
Come join us at The Courts.
Happy New Year! ~ Bob Rubenstein, Brube88@gmail.com
In the photo above, Four Seasons 4x4 leader Rick Brower works a
difficult trail created by Hemet off road club in Ocotillo Wells near the
Salton Sea last November. Even though this is no challenge for Rick's
2016 beefed up Rubicon, it is not something you want to try in your new
Mercedes.
Come and join us if you own a 4x4 or would like to ride along with
one of our members. We meet the second Tuesday of each month in
the craft room at 7 pm to plan the upcoming run on the third Thursday.
Any questions can be answered by Rick Brower at (951) 255-7119 or
Don Fant at (951) 381-1972. ~ Don Fant

Mitch Harmon and Lian Lee provide comfort to Mike
Zehner, whose nose got in the way of a vicious slam by
Lian. Miraculously, Mike's nose returned to its normal
size soon after this photo was taken
