Bridge for Fun Bridge Canasta #1 Join us for an afternoon of friendship and fun while playing a game of Hand and Foot Canasta. We meet in the Card Room Thursdays, 1 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. 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 Bunco Well it is officially the holiday season and we are all getting busy shopping, decorating, baking and everything else that goes along with it. Take a break and come and play Bunco. This month we will be playing Bunco on Nov. 13 and 27 (the day after Thanksgiving). If you have never played you should come and give it a try. It is a great way to meet some new friends. We meet 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. ~ 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 | NOVEMBER 2015 Bridge for Fun meets two days a week: Mondays at 12 noon (call Tanya to join (951) 845-5627) and Wednesdays at 11:30 (call Verina to join (951) 769-1687). We are people that play bridge and enjoy our players as friends. We rotate partners and tables for a great time. We discuss our conventions with each partner and can ask for help from other tables if we are stuck on bidding. We also have a few parties each year. Check at the Lodge main desk for our assigned room. See you soon! Co-chairs Verina (951) 769-1687 and Phil (951) 922-2525. ~ Dr. Phil On Sept. 28, we ushered in the beginning of the holiday season with a special treat for all our loyal and dedicated bridge members. A delicious luncheon, catered by Chef Joanne LaPointe of the "Singing Teapot," was well received. The tables were attractively decorated with the lovely rich colors of autumn, a welcoming scene. "The Monday Bridge" club meets at 12 noon in the Recreation Center North building and provides a time for socializing, continuing bridge education and relaxation. Gordon Shepard, our alternative club captain, has been an asset to our club with his knowledge and computer skills to improve the running of our group. Feel free to call Helen at (951) 845-9312 for more information about our bridge world here at Four Seasons. May you and your partner share the thrill in bidding the next Grand Slam. ~ Helen Shoemate-Gurley An ACBL Sanctioned Duplicate Bridge Club is now meeting at Four Seasons on Friday afternoon at 12:15 pm in the Recreation Center North Bldg.
