46 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2020 Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. 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 Online During COVID-19 Join us and play pinochle from the comfort of your own home via any online device. Whether you are an experienced player or brand- new, we can help you log in and enjoy this stimulating card game. Winning pinochle is not just luck of the draw, but is a thinking game which teases the mind and keeps it sharp. We previously played in the RCN every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 am to noon. We still honor our usual time frame and found this blessing to be a welcome diversion to all that is going on. There is no need for shuffling, dealing, and trying to hold 20 cards in your hand, which is a bonus for those who may love to play, but may be dealing with physical difficulties. If you are interested in joining us, please email me at zmike2668@gmail.com. ~ Mike Zehner 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 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 Quarantine Game The current pandemic has inspired this fun new group. The object of the game is to earn 10 points by noon each day. Each of the following is worth two points: get out of bed before 10 am • take a shower • put on shoes • eat breakfast at the dining room table • do a load of laundry • read 20 pages of a book • exercise for 30 minutes. Subtract one point for the following: watch cable news for more than two hours • argue with someone on social media • touch someone who isn't part of your household. When you've reached 10 points, give yourself a round of applause, eat a block of cheese, and take a nap.
