FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2019 41 Ahhhh, summer weather has arrived, and your Taste d'Vine Wine Club has just the right wines to serve. Mr. Glenn Richards (who spoke to us in October) had many years in the wine industry and will share some of his insight into great Rosé wines. A Rosé is a type of wine that incorporates some of the color from the grape skins but not enough to qualify it as a red wine. It may be the oldest known type of wine as it is the most straightforward to make. The pink color can range from a pale orange to a vivid near-purple, depending on the varietals used and wine making techniques. Please join us at our Taste d'Vine Wine Club meeting on May 16 (the third Thursday of the month) in the Ballroom. Doors open at 5:15 pm with the meeting starting at 6 pm. Please bring a favorite wine to share with your table along with an appetizer, such as crackers, cheese, fruit, dessert, or anything in between along with two glasses for tasting. Members are $5, guests $10, and non-resident guests $15. For information, please contact Terry Hall at (714) 369-0828, Terryhall005@gmail.com, or Barbara Mull at BarbaraRN1973@gmail. com. ~ Terry Hall Taste d'Vine We will be performing at the upcoming PG 55+ Show, "The Night They Raided Smitzky's" on May 10 and 11. This performance is free, but don't forget to pick up your ticket for which night you are interested in. Several of the Four Seasons Singers will also be featured with their own acts. This is one show you won't want to miss! We are working hard to learn our routines, but we also laugh and have lots of fun doing it. After the show we may take a vacation but will be back in August to start rehearsing for the Holiday Show the first weekend in December. If you would like to join the Singers, would like to be included in my email list, or if you have questions about the Four Seasons Singers, call (951) 797-3466 or email me at bawasco@dc.rr.com. We always welcome new recruits who want to sing! ~ Barbara Wasco Four Seasons Singers Classical Music Club We are classical music lovers with an interest in sharing our love, knowledge, and interest in classical music. We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the Theater. We listen to and watch musical selections on the big screen. Each month we focus on a particular work or several selections of one composer. We also discuss current musical performances in the area. We welcome new members. Contact Steve Benoff at steve.benoff@verizon.net or (310) 413-4896. ~ Steve Benoff The rainbow is a powerful symbol that represents beauty, balance, peace, and hope. As such, we believe it is a perfect representation for our group. We are residents of Four Seasons Beaumont who also happen to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. The rainbow is so perfect because it really fits our group's diversity in terms of race, gender, ages, and beliefs. While we strive to serve the interests of our members, we do welcome all supportive homeowners and encourage everyone to attend any of our functions. We believe you'll enjoy our company. Everyone leads busy lives (even at our age!), and we often find it difficult to stay connected with our neighbors. Therefore, the Rainbow Group has monthly get-togethers on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6 pm. Our next gathering will be on Thursday, May 23, at a member's home. Check your email or the group's Facebook page for the location. Our monthly get-togethers are mostly informal social gatherings which give members an opportunity to meet new neighbors, catch up on member and community activities or news, and just chat — no stuffy agenda items, roll calls, minutes for us! If you're hungry, feel free to bring a dish to share or your own beverage. The Rainbow Group also hosts periodic gatherings for socializing (such as BBQs and holiday potlucks), LGBT-themed movie nights in The Lodge Theatre, and other events the group may sponsor. Maybe you'd even like to suggest your own activity for the group — we are always open to new ideas. Please direct any questions to Dale at (951) 797-0364, dalebeckes@gmail.com, or on Facebook, search for Four Seasons Beaumont Pride. ~ Dale Beckes Rainbow Group
