28 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | FEBRUARY 2014 | CLUBS & GROUPS Join us for an afternoon of friendship and fun while playing a game of Hand and Foot Canasta. We meet in the Card Room every Thursday afternoon, 1:15 to 4 pm. Each week you may play with someone different, giving you an opportunity to meet other Four Seasons residents and old friends who enjoy an afternoon of "cool" cards. Plus, the Bistro is just down the hall if you would like a snack or a cold drink. We supply the cards so all you have to bring is your body and the desire to have a little fun. If you don't know how to play we are always happy to set up a teaching table and by the time the afternoon is over you will have mastered the game. All you have to do is show up and leave the rest to us. ~Melody Seewoster Canasta #1 Mah Jongg 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 the game, 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, and played with up to eight people at a table. It is played by both men and women, so men are very welcomed as well as women. The game can be played in the day, evening, in a room in the Lodge or in private homes. If you are interested, please call me, Linda Mendelson, at (951) 941-9100 or e-mail me at Goldtoy@earthlink.net and I will answer any questions you may have. As all card games, it is played with both skill and luck. ~ Linda Mendelson Pan Everybody is welcome to join us for fun Mondays at 1 pm in the Bistro. Beginners as well as seasoned players can join the fun. We usually have several tables of three, four or five players and someone is always available to teach or assist those who are new to the game or those who haven't played in many years. A current Mah Jongg card is required but you can borrow or copy one until you are sure you want to invest the $8 in it. You do not have to own a Mah Jongg set to join the fun, so come on out! ~ Yvette Thomas Pinochle Pinochle is an exciting card game where you bid and bluff to name trump and take control of the game. This game is played with a double deck of special cards of ace through 10 against other aficionados, to tease your mind, and keep you sharp. Come join the game on Wednesday and Fridays from 9 am to 12 pm in the Card Room. Newbies and oldies are welcome for fun and socializing.

If you are still thinking about the pounds you may have put on over the holidays it may be time to join TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). Come out and see if TOPS can help you reach your weight loss goals. We are a great support system for each other and even though we think we know how to lose weight there are still things we can learn about becoming healthy. TOPS is also very affordable ($28 per year membership, $3 chapter dues each month). We meet in the Ballroom each Tuesday with weigh-in starting at 8 am and the meeting beginning at 8:30 am. So come and join us you have nothing to lose but weight.
