30 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 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 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! ~ Barbara Goodreau 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. Info., George Soeten, (951) 797-0254. ~ George Soeten Bunco This month Bunco will be on Nov. 14 and Nov. 28 (the day after Thanksgiving). I can't believe I am saying Thanksgiving already. Let the craziness begin. Try not to get all caught up in the rush — come out and relax and have some fun playing Bunco with us. Bring a friend or neighbor and meet us in the card room at 1 pm sharp. Don't forget to grab a drink at Smitty's or maybe even lunch beforehand. See you there. ~ Suzanne Roldan & Cheryl Burke Bridge Join us Mondays for the game of Bridge in the Lodge Card Room at 12 noon. All levels of players are welcome. Bridge gives our brain some much needed exercise and we can all use that at our age. We play party type bridge where we rotate partners after five or six hands. This enables you to meet and play with different people. Since we play round-robin style, most of us use Standard American as convention of choice. Some do try other conventions, but only if both parties agree up front. All of us play at different levels and are learning how to play the game better (practice makes us better). Some of the previous students have learned enough that they now sit in and play. If you are interested in learning the game or have questions please call Helen at (951) 845-9312. We will be glad to help you learn the basics of the game and hope that you will join us to either learn how to play, watch, or play the game of bridge. Congratulations to Lylia Puckett and partner (me) for bidding and making a grand slam. This is what every bridge players wants to achieve and it does not come along very often. ~ Bill Guy
