52 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2020 20,000 Canasta 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 With the crisis affecting our community and our country (and the world for that matter), we have far more important issues than our ability to gather around the card table to enjoy our favorite pastime. We will get through this time of trouble, however, and when we do, the Four Seasons Duplicate Bridge group will resume meeting on Saturday mornings in the RCN building. We will want to resume a friendly environment to enjoy the best form of the game as happens at other senior communities. As always, send an email to me if you're interested in discussion of duplicate bridge activity or would like to learn to improve your game, or are interested in duplicate bridge at Four Seasons. ~ Kirk Freyermuth, kafreyer@ frontier.com Hearts Pinochle for Fun Uptown Divas Bid Whist Join us! Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the game, we welcome you. Pinochle is an exciting card game where you bid and bluff to name trump and take control of the game. This stimulating game is a time-honored favorite. Winning is not just the luck of the draw; it is a thinking game which teases the mind and keeps it sharp. We meet in the RCN, Activity Room #1, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30 am to noon. Our Chair is Karen Farmer. ~ Karen Farmer We are looking for players, substitute players, and people who are interested in learning the game. I am happy to teach anyone who wishes to learn the game, either individually or in a small group, your home or mine. Pan is a card game, much on the order of gin in some respects, and played with up to eight people at a table. It is played by both men and women, so all are welcome. The game can be played in the day, evening, in a room in The Lodge or in private homes. If you are interested, please call Linda Mendelson, at (951) 941-9100, or email Goldtoy@earthlink.net, and I will answer any questions you may have. As are all card games, it is played with both skill and luck. ~ Linda Mendelson Pan All are welcome. The game is played with a single card deck, no jokers, and 52 cards. We play three, four, or five at a table. No scheduling necessary. We play on Tuesdays at 6 pm in the Game Room next to the Library. A group has played here at Four Seasons for nine years. Seating is random draw, no partners, individual scores. It is easy to learn, harder to win. Players will teach. Games last approximately two hours. Lowest points win. If you have questions, call Mike Saperstein (951) 769-7909. ~ Mike Saperstein Uptown Divas Bid Whist Group meets on the first and third Friday every month from 2 to 4 pm in the Game Room. ~ Deborah Garner, kenyakiki@aol.com Greetings everyone! We hope that everyone is doing well during this pandemic. These have certainly been challenging times. As we look forward to the coming months, may the time you've spent with loved ones/yourselves be restorative, thoughtful and positive. When it is safe to congregate once again, we invite you to come out sometime and join us to learn bid whist and/or 'to get your bid game on.' We meet on Mondays (except major holidays) from 6 to 8:30 pm in the RCN Building, Activity Room 3. We offer a satisfying game environment filled with good cheer, good natured 'trash talking' and some great music. And, win or lose… you will have a lot of fun and meet some great folks while playing bid whist. New players, whether new to the game or veterans, are always welcome! We look forward to seeing you at the tables. For more information, contact Roxanne Williams at (951) 797-3123 or Floyd Reid at (951) 317-3127. ~ Roxanne Williams Co-ed Bid Whist Rummikub Join us Sundays from 2 to 4 pm. Please try to show up by 1:45 pm as we welcome help setting up. Have fun with new and old friends. Rummikub is played at a table with tiles and a holder for each player's tiles. Players begin with 14 tiles. A player's first move is a group of at least three tiles totaling 30 points. Play ends when one person uses all their tiles. Remaining players then add the total numbers of their tiles for a score. Zero is the best score. If you like Rummy and Mah Jongg, then you would certainly like Rummikub. We play in The Lodge Game Room. We will set up a learning table for newcomers. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, call Mike Saperstein, (951) 769-7909. ~ Mike Saperstein Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
