Wine Club By Valorie Hillerich We have had several new people coming in to try ping pong or just to watch. One new member, Tyler, said when she first saw us playing, she thought it looked like a bunch of college kids running around. Did you ever see the movie Cocoon? Just sayin'! We are planning to have a Draw Doubles Tournament this month. We hope you can come join us in the fun, on Friday, April 12, at 1 pm in the Auditorium. Ping Pong By Lisa Schrader, 714-814-4543 Jim Courtois and Tom Legro playing doubles. 93-year-old Pat Legro playing ping pong spotted by Lorie Stewart. How long has it been since she has played? She said "NEVER!" She is a true inspiration to us all. It is never too late to try new things. Kathy Bray and Lisa Schrader wait for a serve.
