| OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2023 | 43 We offer free bridge classes every Wednesday at the Clubhouse. The beginning bridge classes start at 5 pm and the advanced classes start at 6:15 pm. The classes are open to any residents and do not require any prior knowledge. These classes are taught by residents who are accomplished bridge players.

We have duplicate bridge games every Tuesday at 5 pm, and at 1 pm on some Fridays (second, third and fifth) at the Clubhouse. Our membership is open to all residents of Ocean Hills.

Did that get your attention? OHCC residents and friends are playing Bingo in record numbers. January had 208 players and February had 201 — the most we have ever had. Because of the number of players, our regular jackpots have been higher than ever before. When more people participate, the jackpots raise accordingly. April, with our amazing, guaranteed payout of $500, will likely attract a sellout crowd. Usually, the 10th game of the evening is a blackout game with a jackpot prize of up to $300. NOT on April 15. The prize will NOT be $300, NOT even $400, but a, stupendous, whopping $500! Doors will open at 6:30 pm and game play will start promptly at 7 pm. To help elevate the bottle neck at 6:30 pm we are trying something different. Daubers, highlighters and 50/50 raffle tickets will go on sale at 6 pm at the concierge desk. Daubers and highlighters are $1 each, 50/50 raffle tickets are one ticket for $1 or six tickets for $5. Cash only please. The patterns for the evening's Bingo will also be available at the desk for your convenience. You will enter the hall and pay the cashier for your Bingo cards as usual. New offerings – 50/50 raffle. Well, really, 50/25/25 because there are two winners. 50% of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to Bingo for future pop-up Jackpots and additional door prizes as well as help fund some of our ideas for future games. The other 50% is divided by the two winners, hence 25% and 25%. The more tickets sold, the higher the raffle winnings will be. Bingo in the afternoon – Bingo will hold its first ever afternoon game. Looking to be more inclusive, your Bingo Board is aware that not everybody is willing or able to drive (however close) in the dark, or you just don't want to go out in the evenings. We hear you and have planned our first afternoon Bingo on Sept. 9, 2023. If we have a good turnout, afternoon games will return in 2024. Family Game Day – We were attempting to plan a Family Game Day. However, due to the Lanai project, event space is at a premium and some dates have been canceled. The Board discussed this. It is our view that disappointing a 70-year-old is one thing, but disappointing a seven-year-old who is looking forward to playing Bingo with Grandma and Grandpa is something different altogether. We will revisit this event in 2024. For event details or questions email us at OHCCBingo@gmail.com or visit our website: ohccbingo.wixsite.com/ohcc-bingo BINGO
