The Bowling League wishes everyone in The Colony a very Happy New Year! Bowling By Hank Fleischer, 714-272-3684 Ready for a New Year's resolution that you can keep? Ping Pong is a great way to get some exercise and have lots of laughs. The Colony Ping Pong (TCPP) really took off in 2022. We've got a strong core group with more new players always coming to give it a try. Here's what some of the players are saying about TCPP: "This ain't your GRANDMA'S ping pong." (Laurie Lantaff ) "It's better than pickleball." (Ron Gowin) "Come on down and join our ping pong group. It's a guaranteed good time. Armour optional." (Kathy Love) "Ping Pong is a blast. Come and see if you can kick our a##." (Anonymous) "It's not always about winning, we often forget the score anyway." (Ron Gowin) We have a variety of skill levels so even if it's been 50 years since you've played, come and join us. No equipment or skills are required, just a desire to have fun and meet new people. We meet every Wednesday from 4 to 6 pm and Fridays from 3 to 6 pm in the Annex by the Clubhouse. Come check it out! Ping Pong By Lisa Schrader, 714-814-4543
