40 | OHCC LIVING | APRIL 2024 | Over our winter break we sent out a letter asking for sponsors for 2024. The response was delightful and surprising, Zoraya again sponsored Bingo in January 2024, and Andrea Anderson sponsored February. Now I would like you to meet two more of our wonderful sponsors. Meet Patti Smith, she is sponsoring both March and April as well as a special donation for our Anniversary Bingo in May. After living throughout the United States for the last 30 years, Patti returned to her roots in Southern California. Before raising a family, she worked 18 years as a flight attendant for PSA Airlines. Patty was lucky to have traveled the world, and lived in six major metropolitan areas, which gave her a vast understanding of the way the real estate market works throughout the country. Patti is a Real Estate Agent specializing in resort-retirement living here at Ocean Hills Country Club. Patti loves to golf, swim and play pickle ball. She is an avid photographer and loves spending time with her four children and beautiful granddaughter! Now, please meet Tim Miller, owner and President of San Diego Kitchen Pros. Tim has made a very generous donation for our Anniversary celebration and is underwriting our intermission, which in May will not be ice cream! A special treat is being planned. A colleague said,"For Tim the sale starts when the papers are signed and continues for as long as we have a relationship with the customer." San Diego Kitchen Pros specializes in all aspects of kitchen and bath remodeling. They have over 33 years of specialized experience with custom cabinets or refacing existing cabinets, a full remodel, or a spruce up. From design to final walk-through, everything is taken care of by Tim and his team, in house. Your custom cabinets are made to your exact design and installed by his team of installers. Kitchen Pros has stone fabricators and installers, tilers, and all specialties necessary for your job. Tim's crew works your job every day, and does everything possible to stay on budget, and within the timeframe deadlines. Kitchen Pros did a wonderful job on my kitchen six months ago. Soon you will meet Rita Harper, Sue Silva, and Alicia Oliger all three sponsoring later this year. Join us for Bingo on April 27 and then two weeks later our very special 40th Anniversary Celebration will be on May 11. I will give you details about our May 11 Bingo next month. I look forward to seeing you. For more information, visit ohccbingo.wixsite.com/ohcc-bingo. ~ Adele Siesel BINGO Mahjongg Club The world of MahJongg is quite large and growing. There are local, regional and national tournaments, on-line games, themed cruises and conventions where players gather for fun and the challenge. It is mind-exercising and fun to play! American MahJongg evolved from Chinese origins in the early 1920s. During this time various versions were woven together and a standard for American rules evolved. Today, the National MahJongg League oversees these rules and publishes a new card annually. This approach keeps the game fresh and challenging. When new OHCC residents or recent students want to connect with the wider OHCC MahJongg community, the club is a good resource. Our club facilitates the growth here at OHCC by expanding the social interaction and communication among the large number of MahJongg players at OHCC. The OHCC MahJongg Club has just concluded the first club sponsored American MahJongg Tournament. Kudos to Ginny Koon, Dorothy Miller, Carol Hirsch and their volunteers for taking on this sizeable task. I hope to find myself at a table with the new OHCC American MahJongg champion soon!
