Hey everyone. I am inviting more folks to come out and play Bid Whist. We are having an enjoyable time here socializing while applying our individual team strategies to win the hand or stop the opposing team from winning. You can almost hear the excited voices of the victors around the tables, as well as the sounds of the Temptations, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, BB King, or Adele – a variety of mellow music – in the background. I strongly encourage new players to come out. We will teach you how to play this game. Bid Whist is a variation to the original game of whist and it involves strategy, card counting, and careful communication with a partner. It is similar in play to Bridge and Spades. Whether you are new to the game or a veteran player, I invite you to come out and play with us. The Co-Ed Bid Whist group meets on Tuesdays from 6 to 8:30 pm in the RCN Building, Room 3. We offer a satisfying game environment filled with skill, good cheer, good-natured trash talking, and some great music. Win or lose… you will have a lot of fun and meet some great folks while playing bid whist. We look forward to seeing you at the tables. For more information, contact Frank Turner at (562) 922-9737. ~ Frank Turner FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2023 67 Looking for a way to meet new friends? Join us on Fridays from 1 to 3 pm for Bunco.

We meet on Thursdays in the RCN Main Room from 12:45 to 4 pm. Table assignments are distributed at 12:45 pm. Each week you may play with someone different, giving you an opportunity to meet new friends and/or to visit with existing friends. We supply the cards, so just bring yourself and a desire to have fun. If you don't know how to play, we are always happy to set up a teaching table — by the end of the afternoon you will have mastered the game. Join us. ~ Pam Morales, pamelamorales26@gmail.com Three Thirteen Three Thirteen is a fun and fast-paced card game, played in 11 rounds. A variation of rummy, players meld using runs and sets of at least three cards. The first player to lay all cards down receives no points. Then the remaining players lay down their cards, on either the first player's cards or their own. Each round uses a progressive, new wild card, from 3 to Kings. The lowest score wins. Not a lot of rules to remember and it's quick and easy to learn. Everyone is welcome and we will always have a learner's table, if needed. We meet the first and third Tuesday of each month at 2 pm in The Lodge Game Room. Everyone is welcome to join us. If you have questions or want to be put on the group email list, contact Simone at simone@bissada.net. ~ Simone Bissada Bunco Co-ed Bid Whist Canasta Uptown Divas Bid Whist Uptown Divas Bid Whist Group meets on the first and third Fridays of every month from 2 to 4 pm in The Lodge Game Room. ~ Deborah Garner, kenyakiki@aol.com Below: Co-Ed Bid players fully engaged Frank Turner, club leader, welcomes new players
