FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2023 65
Our club wishes to acknowledge and say farewell
to Robert "Big Bob" Manuel (inset), a long-term
beloved member and quite talented card player.
Bob passed away in September; several members
attended his memorial services. "Big Bob," you
will be deeply missed.
I am inviting more folks to come out and play Bid
Whist. We have paper flyers available at The Lodge,
and our electronic flyer can now be viewed on the E-Boards
in all the facilities and online in the Activities Blast!
We have an enjoyable time 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, B.B. King, or Adele – a variety of mellow
music – in the background while we play!
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, Room 3. We offer a 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! ~

Co-ed Bid Whist
Mah Jongg
Hello all! We are now playing Mah Jongg in the RCN Main Room every Friday morning from 10 am to noon. I hope you can join us. The
great part is that you do not have to commit to every Friday.
If you are interested in learning this game, we arrange periodic lessons and have a table designated for new players.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange an introductory lesson, contact Terry Hall at Terryhall005@gmail.com. ~ Terry Hall
