38 | OHCC LIVING | NOVEMBER 2024 | The OHCC Table Tennis (aka Ping Pong) Club is one year old. Come join the celebration with a potluck dinner, fun table tennis play, lucky draws, music and dancing on Nov. 24, 4:30 to 8:30 pm in Abravanel Hall. See poster for details. All are welcome to sign up and join in the fun. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player, this is your chance to sharpen your skills while also having fun. Have you felt a mix of emotions — joy from progress, frustration, or even the urge to toss your paddle aside? We encourage you not to give up! The Table Tennis group and our dedicated instructors are here to help. Join us during our scheduled hours of play, every week on Sun., Mon., Wed., Fri. and Sat. Sign up at the front desk to receive weekly updates of play times. Written by Cli Singh and Babu Patrose Table Tennis Walkers & Hikers Club On a beautiful day in September, club members walked Buccaneer Beach in Oceanside, lunched at the Buccaneer Cafe. It is outings like this that have brought 170 members to the club roster. So much more is planned. Late in September, the club hosted a luncheon on the Palm Court, free to all members. 70 decided to take advantage of this event. The luncheon had an organized and enthusiastic staff, headed by Lynn Bible, Joan Beauvais, and Jackie Loftus. At the luncheon, the Board members were announced, no changes from the previous year. Alinda Giansiracusa will again serve as President, Herb Livsey as her Vice President, and the Board rounded out with Lori Smith as Treasurer, Rich Halkyard as Secretary, and Janet Congil as the all-important Communications Director. There are several support hike and walk leaders, one being experienced hiker Geoff Altman, who led a recent hike to Blue Sky, a trek in Poway. Late October, we had an easy to moderate four mile walk on the Highland Valley trail and a view of a giant pumpkin patch. Torrey Pines Preserve, lower and upper trails to be explored on Nov. 16 … a beach walk from Moonlight Beach to Beacon Beach — as we watch the tides to be sure we can make the entire walk on a November morning (TBA)… and a Thanksgiving Walk on the Buena Vista Park Trail (leaving the overf low parking lot at 10 am) — examples of what is ahead. Join us on the trail. Call Alinda at (760) 525-5410, or Herb at (760) 940-0605 for more information. On the OHCC website, go to Clubs, then Walkers and Hikers. You will find our activities there, along with hike leaders. Great club, great people, relaxed and enthusiastic walkers and hikers — with fresh air outdoors. Priceless.
