Join us for an afternoon of friendship and fun while playing a game of Hand and Foot Canasta. We meet Thursdays in the RCN Main Room from 12:45 to 4 pm. Table assignments are distributed at 12:45 pm. Each week you may play with someone different, giving you an opportunity to meet new friends and/or visit with old friends. We supply the cards, so just bring yourself and a desire to have fun. If you don't know how to play, we are always happy to set up a teaching table — by the end of the afternoon you will have mastered the game. Come join us. ~ Pam Morales FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2020 57 Bridge For Fun It's great that spring is finally here! With the arrival of a new season, why not think about starting a new activity here at Four Seasons? If you have ever wanted to play bridge, now is a great time to start. If you just want to stop by and see what it's all about, please come see us. We play Wednesdays at noon in the Game Room. For more information, contact Verina Rector at (951) 769-1687. ~ Tom Halley Three Thirteen 20,000 Canasta Several leprechauns marched their way to the Game Room last month as we had a good turnout with several tables full of rambunctious and fun folks. After 11 rounds, Kathy Craven took first with the the lowest score of 49. Following closely behind her were Robert Howard and Rick Laykoff who scored an impressive 66 and 67, respectively. Rounding out the top five were Linda Clark with a 70 and Jerry Monahan with a 72. Three Thirteen is played in 11 rounds and players meld, using sets and runs of at least three cards. The player to lay all cards down first receives no points. The remaining players then lay down their cards, either on the first player's cards or their own. Each round uses a progressive wild card, from 3s to Kings. The lowest score wins. Remembering what wild card is in play for a particular round is possibly the most difficult part of the game. And you'll know when someone inadvertently discards a wild card — it's usually followed by a whoop, holler, and well, a few choice words! Those of us who did that last game day shall remain anonymous. Everyone is welcome and we always have a learner's table, if needed. We play at The Lodge Game Room from 3 to 5 pm on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. If you have any questions or want to receive email reminders, contact Mike at micedcor1@ gmail.com. ~ Mike Corbett We hope those of you who joined us to play 20,000 Canasta last month enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed that you came. Please join us again this month and bring a friend. We play the first and third Fridays of each month from 1 to 4 pm. If you never played 20,000 Canasta we can set up a teaching table. Hope to see you there. ~ Leona Davisson, (951) 489-7745 Duplicate Bridge Group We meet Saturdays in the RCN building.

Wondell Collins was the domino champ for February with 18 game wins. Marvin Gaines had 16 and John Bragg finished with 14 game wins. Congratulations to Wondell, the "Domino Queen." She was also the champion this past December. Come on Shirley, Lady-T, and Roxanne — get your game faces on so you ladies can get into the spotlight, too. Dominoes are played Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 to 9 pm in The Lodge Game Room. Practice is from 5 to 6 pm on both days. Come out and join us… have some fun and make some new friends.
