30 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | DECEMBER 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 The holidays are definitely here. We are right in the middle of the 2014 holiday season and I hope all is well with my Bunco friends. This month we will be playing on the 12th and the 26th. So take some time for yourself and come out and play. Invite a neighbor and join us at 1 pm sharp in the Card Room. We have a lot of fun and you will be glad you came. Don't forget to grab a drink at Smitty's or maybe even lunch beforehand. See you there! Happy Holidays! ~ Suzanne Roldan & Cheryl Burke Bridge Join us on Mondays for the game of bridge in the Lodge Card Room at 12 pm. All levels of bridge players are welcome. We play party type bridge where we rotate partners after 5 or 6 hands. This enables you to meet and play with different people. 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). If you are interested in learning the game or have questions please call Helen at (951) 845-9312. We are currently teaching two new players and hope to soon have them join us on Mondays. We will be glad to help you learn the basics of the game and hope that you will join us to either learn, watch, or play. Congratulations to Tanya Guy (her first) and Helen Shoemate for bidding and making a grand slam. This is what every bridge player wants to achieve; it does not come along very often. ~ Bill Guy
