30 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2015 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 welcome 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 email 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 Ballroom. 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 we will be playing Bunco on April 11 and 24. Keep coming and inviting people that have never played. We have a lot of fun. We play at 1 pm sharp in the Card Room. Don't forget to grab a drink at Smitty's or maybe even lunch beforehand. See you there! ~ Suzanne Roldan & Cheryl Burke Bridge Bridge for Fun 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 All levels of players are welcome and we play on Mondays at 12 pm at the Lodge. We play party type Bridge where we rotate partners after five or six 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). Call Helen to arrange for play time on or before Friday to ensure a seat. If you want to learn the game, lessons have resumed. Please call Helen for time and location. We are currently teaching two new players and hope to soon have them join us on Mondays. ~ Bill Guy "Bridge for fun" starts at 11:30 am sharp on Wednesdays and presently meets in the Ballroom. The Monday group has done a great job training new players for both groups. Because we start before noon feel free to bring something to eat. We play with enlarged numbered cards so most people do not need glasses. We play party bridge and rotate with different players. Feel free to discuss your conventions with each partner and ask for help. The staff at the club has done a great job setting up tables and checking and adjusting our room temperature. We are blessed with our bridge friends so join the fun! Special thanks to our Breeze editorial staff! Info., Verina at (951) 769-1687 or Phil at (951) 922-2525. ~ Dr. Phil
