Bridge for Fun Bridge Bunco In October we will playing Bunco on the 9th and the 23rd. If you have never played Bunco you need to come and give it a try. It is a very simple dice game that can be played with little concentration which makes it easy to play and socialize too. It is a great way to meet some new friends. We meet in the Card Room at 1 pm sharp. So invite a friend or neighbor and join us. Don't forget to grab a drink at Smitty's or maybe even lunch beforehand. See you there. ~ Cheryl Burke & Suzanne Roldan Mah Jongg Everybody is welcome to join us for Mah Jongg at 12:30 pm on Mondays in the 1528 Building. We accept beginners and offer coaching for those who have not played in several years. A current Mah Jongg card is required but you can borrow or copy one until you get your own. 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 10 am to 1 pm in the Card Room. New- bies and oldies are welcome for fun and socializing. Info., George Soeten, (951) 797-0254. ~ George Soeten 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 40 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | OCTOBER 2015 We meet on Wednesdays a 11:30 am sharp. Check at the main desk in the Lodge for our assigned room. We welcome rusty players to our group. We rotate partners and tables in a party bridge format discussing our conventions with each new partner. People come first and bridge comes second, thus "Bridge for Fun". Other groups meet on Mondays; call Tanya Guy for information. No messy snacks are recommended. Please pick up the room when you leave. If you have a nice deck of cards to donate please bring it. For information contact Co-Chairs Verina (951) 769-1681 or Phil (951) 922-2525. ~Dr. Phil Vacations are slowing down a bit. Leaves are falling everywhere but here. If you're looking for new activities this autumn, please consider joining our bridge group. We play on Mondays at noon in the RCN building. The room is comfortable, the people congenial and the game thought provoking and challenging. Bridge is a partnership game; the better you can communicate with your partner, the more enjoyable it is. We play party bridge where we change partners every five or six hands, giving you the opportunity to meet and play with a variety of people. Most of us use the Standard American style of bidding. Some play more conventions than others but only when agreed upon by both parties. If you're interested in learning more about the bridge world at Four Seasons call Helen at (951) 845-9312 for time, location and learning opportunities. Is there a "grand slam" in your next game? I hope so. ~ Helen Shoemate-Gurley Exciting news! An ACBL Sanctioned Duplicate Bridge Club is now meeting at Four Seasons on Friday afternoon at 12:15 pm in the RCN Bldg.
