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 Happy New Year to all our bunco friends! This month we will be playing on the 8th and the 22nd. Bunco is very easy and is a great way to meet some new friends. So if you haven't tried it you really should. We meet in the Card Room at 1 pm sharp. So grab a friend or neighbor and come on down. Don't forget to get a drink at Smitty's or 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. Newbies 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 38 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2016 Happy Holidays! Bridge for Fun has grown into two different days to play bridge, Mondays and Wednesdays at 12 noon. We encourage all our players to have fun. We encourage a brief discussion of conventions before playing with each partner. We rotate partners and tables in a party bridge format but you can ask for help from another table. We vary but sometimes we have up to five tables of bridge. Tom Halley can bring you up to date on other bridge groups including duplicate. We recently had a fall party for all people involved with Bridge for Fun. Bridge is a great way to keep your brain sharp. Yes, we like food and treats. Monday info., Bill Guy (951) 845-5627; Wednesday info., Verina Rector (951) 769-1687 or Phil Irving (760) 447-0007; Duplicate info., Halley (760) 898-3215. ~ Dr. Phil With continued success at ACBL Sanctions Duplicate Bridge Club is now meeting at Four Seasons on Friday afternoon at 12:15 pm in the Recreation Center North Building.

If playing bridge is, or was, a part of your life, please give some thought to joining us. We meet Mondays at 12 noon in the Recreation Center North Building. It is a time for socializing and improving our skills with like-minded players. The setting is lovely, the group congenial, and it is very pleasant way to spend an afternoon each week.
