"The falling leaves, drift by my window … the autumn leaves of red and gold." Yes, the beautiful fall season is here!

On behalf of the Social Singles, our Board would like to thank this wonderful person for their generosity. It is truly appreciated. Thomas Catering will be serving a very special surprise dinner. The talented group, Radio Fliers, will be performing our favorite songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. What a fabulous evening to enjoy with your friends, laughing and singing. Yearly membership is $15.

Spreading Sunshine Young at Heart In August, the Young at Heart club held two events. Thirteen teams of four competed in a Bocce Tournament as part of the Sun Lakes Summer Games competition. In the Experienced Division the Gold Medal went to the team of Gary Balcom, Jeannie McGuire and Barry and Claudia Schwartz; while Silver went to Dave and Peggy Huetten, Larry Ellis and Claudia Martin; and Rick and Judy Taylor, Dave and Judy Crail won the Bronze Medal. In the Novice category, the Gold Medal was won by Bob and Michele Walter and Steve and Sally Jo Schwartz; the Silver went to Pam D'Arca, Stan Stambaugh, and Chris and Joanne Vetter; and Jeff and Theresa Van Haren, and Dennis and Shannon McKinney won Bronze. On Aug. 28, members gathered on the driving range to enjoy an evening of "Music Under the Stars" while socializing and munching on appetizers. We are planning several more activities to bring our members together for the kind of fun and camaraderie for which our events are famous. In September, we will reprise the crazy and fun golf cart rally that was such a hit in 2019. Participants will solve puzzles to navigate through the route, snacking and drinking at a pit stop on their way to the finish where they will be joined by other club members to continue the fun. Activities planned for future months include another bocce tournament with dinner and a unique New Year's Eve progressive dinner party, among others. Details will be emailed to all members as plans for each event are finalized. We welcome new members. Annual dues are still just $10 per person. We are also open to creative new ideas for fun activities. For questions, suggestions, or to join Young at Heart, call Michele Walter at (951) 202-8009. | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2021 | 25 Social Singles
