62 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JANUARY 2026 | Games People Play Mondays are considered "fun days" by the members of our group. You are invited to join in for the games, music and the camaraderie between new and old friends. We have five games that are played simultaneously: you have a choice of Scrabble, Phase 10, Chess, Bid Whist or Dominoes. All skill levels are welcome. There are no fees or dues; however, donations are welcomed and appreciated. We meet Mondays at the North Clubhouse from 6 to 9:30 pm. For more info, please contact Virginia Green at (951) 255-1545 or Cynthia White- Piper at (951) 906-7510. Mexican Train Welcome to a New Year! The main location for Mexican Train has changed to accommodate the bigger group. The majority of the time we will be in the North Clubhouse Multipurpose Room (NCH MPR) but please continue to refer to this article for exact monthly locations. For the month of January we will meet in the following locations: Jan. 7, Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 NCH MPR; Jan. 14 Main Clubhouse Bus Room. Please arrive between 12:45 and 12:50 pm so we can organize tables for balanced play. Ideally, we would like to have only five to six people at a table. The group is getting bigger, so if you have domino trays consider bringing them. If you would like a copy of the version played at Sun Lakes, send your request to cjdavis2504@gmail.com and one will be sent to you. For further info, call Paulie at (951) 550-2107. Pinochle Club We meet Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30 am to 12 pm in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. We play double deck pinochle in tables of four and five. Winners move to another table so we get to socialize with many members. You can come late or leave early, no problem. We welcome new members, so if it has been a while since you have played or you're a beginner, we will be happy to teach you the game or refresh your skills. For more info, call Patty Michalec, President, at (530) 520-4127. Chess Club The Sun Lakes Chess Club meets Fridays from 1 to 4 pm in either the Main or North Clubhouse. The club has enjoyed significant growth since forming late last year. We have obtained our U.S. Chess Federation affiliation, and will be sending a pair of four player teams to compete in our first tournament in San Diego in February. Whether you are an experienced player or just starting out, we hope you will join us. If you have any questions or need any additional information please contact Walter Winfield at (909) 291-5494.
