44 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | AUGUST 2019 | There are three more weeks left in the Summer Tournament, plus the week of play- offs, Aug. 26 and 27. Time to be thinking about the Fall Tournament, which begins the week of Sept. 9. Entries must be in by Aug. 30. Keep in mind, as with the Spring Tournament, we will play Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We begin playing in September using the same times as we've been using for summer, 5, 6, 7 and 8 pm. Part way through the fall, as the weather cools, we switch to spring times, 3, 4, 5, and 6 pm. Your schedules will reflect the time change. Don't forget, if your team personnel changes in the fall, you must fill out a new entry card, found in the cabinet. Club members pay only the $3 pp team fee ($12 per team). Newbies will need to join our club ($12 pp) and pay the team fee ($15 altogether). If you are new to bocce ball and confused by all of the above, call Dutch at (951) 845- 0392. She can talk you through the process! As always, entries go to 1288 Pleasant Valley. There is a box at the door. BTW, PLEASE, PLEASE give us a second choice of days you wish to play! It is very, very difficult scheduling in the neighborhood of 90 teams if you give us no flexibility! We especially need as many WEDNESDAY teams as possible to make Tuesday or Thursday a second choice. Bear in mind that only 12 matches can be played on any one day! Doing the math, that's 24 teams each day times 4 pm, we can schedule 96 teams in four days, but we MUST have the flexibility to move teams around. PLEASE keep this in mind when you enter your team! Friends of Bocce Friday mornings, 9 am in the North Clubhouse. Cost is only $5 per week (or $20 per month). Tai chi (Tie-Chee) is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing. Originally developed for self-defense, tai chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in motion, Tai Chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements. The tradition of Tai Chi dates back to at least the 15th century in China, and the practice is based on the belief that balancing the opposite forces in the body (known as yin and yang) will encourage the flow of chi (energy) through the body to promote health. You may also find Tai Chi appealing because it's inexpensive and requires no special equipment. Tai Chi can be done anywhere, alone or in a group class. If you're looking for a way to reduce stress, consider Tai Chi and join fellow Sun Lakers in developing strength in balance, stamina, and flexibility. Info., Dee Coughtry, (951) 381-4919. Tai Chi
