| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JANUARY 2025 | 61 Table Tennis/Ping Pong Our regular play times are Mondays and Wednesdays 4 to 6 pm, Fridays 1 to 3 pm, and Saturdays 10 am to 12 pm.

There is also a touch screen monitor in the Main Clubhouse Lobby, where the schedule can be brought up. If there are any questions or concerns, contact Gary Lile at (805) 722-7427, 4lile@yahoo.com, or John Williams at (961) 489-9737, jgwms.williams@gmail.com.
