Hoping everyone had safe and memorable holidays. It's hard to believe that we are now at the beginning of another New Year. Have you made any New Year's resolutions? Often, exercise is one of them. So why not come out and join us for a couple of games of shuffleboard. We are well into our winter hours, which means that we begin play at 9 am on Monday and Saturday mornings. Come out and get some fresh air, while socializing and playing some shuffleboard with us. We play at the new shuffleboard courts at The Lodge. For those of you who don't know where they are, they are located behind the swimming pool and next to the paddle tennis courts. So we now enjoy our own quiet and somewhat private area in which we play. Shuffleboard is an easy game to learn, and anyone can quickly become proficient at this game. Our games usually last about an hour and we choose up different teams each time that we play. This allows us to keep the competition challenging and the games interesting. We play for fun, but, of course, everyone likes to win. We have no losers, only non-winners. We have a great group of residents who play regularly, but we are always looking for new players. I want to welcome three new players to our group, Becky, Diane, and Sherry. Our group is growing, and we recently had the largest group of players show up on a Saturday morning. So if anyone is interested in joining a fun activity with lots of friendly people, please show up on Monday and/or Saturday morning before 9 am. We will introduce you to everyone and give you an introduction to shuffleboard if you have never played before, or a refresher, if needed. If you have any questions, or concerns, please contact me. Otherwise, I hope to see you at the shuffleboard courts. ~ Marty Rotman, (310) 948-1693, mrtmj@aol.com Shuffleboard FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2024 63 We are saying goodbye to 2023 and "HELLO" to 2024!
