70 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2026 We are looking for players, substitute players, and people who are interested in learning the game. I am happy to teach anyone who wishes to learn to play Pan, either individually or in a small group — your home or mine. Pan is a card game, much on the order of Gin in some respects, that is played with up to eight people at a table. It is played by both men and women, so all are welcome. The game is played during the day or in the evening in The Lodge or at a private home. If you are interested, please contact Linda Mendelson at (951) 941-9100 or email Goldtoy@earthlink.net, and I will answer any questions you may have. As with all card games, it is played with both skill and luck. ~ Linda Mendelson Pan Rummikub Bridge For Fun Duplicate Bridge If you are thinking of new activities and have a basic knowledge of how to play the game of Bridge, come join us on Wednesdays from noon until 3:30 pm in The Lodge Game Room. We are a fun and easy-going group; come play with us. For more information, contact Verina Rector at (951) 769-1687. ~ Lois L. Butler This is not an ACBL-sanctioned group, but a group of bridge players that want a more competitive game of bridge, without a formal director (therefore no pressure). We play for fun and the social aspect of the game. We have started playing every Friday between 12:45 and 4:15 pm in the Game Room. It does require a team of two players. If you do not have a partner, we will try to find you a partner. If you're interested in playing, call me at (951) 845-5627. ~ Bill Guy Rummikub (rummy cube) is one of the most popular games in the world. It's a tile-based game for two to four players combining elements of the card game rummy and mahjong. Rummikub was invented in the 1950s by Ephraim Hertzano, a Romanian-born Jew. He had made the first sets with his family in the backyard of his home and sold them door to door. Over the years, the family licensed it to other countries. In the 1970s, it was brought to the United States. We welcome you to come and join us on Mondays from 2 to 4 pm in The Lodge Game Room. It's no problem if you have never played before. We love to teach! If you have any questions, call Sherry Mounts at (323) 810-0632. ~ Sherry Mounts We have some announcements about our current score – five Bostons won in one night! First, a new team has beaten that score with six Bostons won in one night. That winning team is Bill Palmer and Eric Copeland. Second, another team, Frank Turner and Craig Rand, tied the former score by winning five Bostons in one night. What an exciting development! So players, now you will have to beat the new score of six Bostons in one night. Get ready, set and play! I invite more folks to come out and play Bid Whist. We have paper f lyers available at The Lodge, and our electronic f lyer can be viewed on the E-boards in all the facilities and online in the Activities Blast. New players are always welcome. We will teach you how to play the game and/or offer a refresher on how we play. Win or lose … you will have a lot of fun and meet some great folks while playing Bid Whist. Bid Whist is a variation of the original game of Whist, and it involves trick taking, strategy, card counting, and careful communication with a partner. It is similar in play to Bridge and Spades. We have an enjoyable time socializing while applying our individual team strategies to win the hand or stop the opposing team from winning. You can hear the excited voices of the victors around the tables, as well as a variety of mellow music in the background. The Co-Ed Bid Whist club meets on Tuesdays from 6 to 8:30 pm in the RCN, Activity Room #3. We look forward to seeing you at the tables! For more information, contact Frank Turner at (562) 922-9737. ~ Frank Turner Co-ed Bid Whist
