All SCCA residents and their guests (guys and gals) are welcome, and newbies, too! Bunco is fast-paced, but easy-to-learn. Our Bunco Fun Bunch plays every fourth Wednesday at 1 pm in Civic Hall (26601 Cherry Hills Blvd.). This month our game is Wed., July 23. There are no dues or fees, but players donate a $10 gift card to the Bunco Prize Pot. Winners take home many gift cards, depending on how many people play and the Bunco category won. Civic Hall is large enough for the long, rectangle tables we play on (four players/table) and they provide ample space for our snacks, cups, and dice. It also has a huge counter for the snacks (see photos at right). There were 42 players at our April game! It was a really fun time! Player Requirements: SCCA residents must show their current SCCA white activities photo ID card when signing-in at the door. Resident without a current card signs-in as a "guest." Players donate a $10 gift card with the gift card (GC) receipt taped to it (GCs to retail stores, grocery stores, restaurants, fast food eateries, ice cream shops, etc.). GCs are placed in the Bunco Prize Pot when signing- in. Everyone brings their own drink and a snack to share with others (no alcohol). Store-bought items are fine Please take leftovers home with you.

Come with friends and enjoy an afternoon of bunco, food, fun, and laughter! That's what our Bunco Fun Bunch is all about! | SUN CITY CORE COURIER | JULY 2025 | 15 Bunco Fun Bunch Friendship Club We are following our club motto, "Friends, Food, and Fun." The club just held its first club-sponsored feast (with a Cinco de Mayo theme). It was a very successful holiday fiesta. The fiesta consisted of carnitas, Mexican-flavored chicken, and beef barbacoa, to name a few dishes. We would have provided a picture that showed the Cinco de Mayo spread or any other get together, but everybody was too busy having fun to think about pulling out their phones to take a picture. If it wasn't for being hungry and the food before us, I would not be able to get anybody's attention. We hope to continue this fabulous attendance of our old and new friends. We are planning three Club Appreciation meals for club members only (reason enough to become a club member). For all the club appreciation meals, the food is provided by the club. The Club Appreciation meal themes are Cinco de Mayo (May), Barbeque (September), and Holiday Feast (December). We are planning an additional food event: Chili Cook-off (October). We are also floating the idea of a Meatloaf Cook-off. You wouldn't believe the variety in meatloaf recipes. Not bad for the $15 annual membership fee. To those of you who came to the Friendship Club in the past, I invite you to try us again. We have been listening to many suggestions and making adjustments. We are not the Friendship Club of yesteryear. I invite you to our Friendship Club meetings/potlucks at Civic Hall, 26601 Cherry Hills Blvd., on the first Friday of every month. Doors open at 5 pm and everyone gets acquainted with new and old friends. From 5:30 to 6:30 pm, we begin sharing our food at our famous potluck. For those of us that enjoy cooking and baking, we get to share our favorite dishes. For others, stop by the local grocery store/ deli and bring your favorite food. We ask that you bring your own place setting and non-alcoholic beverage (coffee and water provided). Please come and join us.
