The Four Seasons Rainbow Group is an informal opportunity for our LGBT neighbors and any other residents who are interested in meeting with us, to keep up to date, meet new members and to have a relaxing dinner together. We usually meet in alternate months on the fourth Thursday – our next meeting will be on Thursday evening, March 23 at 6 pm. We gather at the atrium in the Lodge, then order any Smitty's food items that we want, and weather permitting, sit on the patio (otherwise, we find a convenient area to enjoy our food and company). Feel free to bring your own adult beverage, if you desire, and appropriate glassware. Everyone is welcome. Any questions can be directed to Dale at (951) 797-0364. ~ Dale Beckes 36 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2017 Rainbow Group Classical Music Club We are classical music lovers with an interest in sharing our love, knowledge, and interest in classical music. We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the Theater. We listen to and watch musical selections on the big screen. Each month we focus on a particular work or several selections of one composer. We also discuss current musical performances in the area. We welcome new members. Contact Steve Benoff at steve.benoff@verizon.net or (310) 413-4896. ~ Steve Benoff "Drinking with your eyes." We are all guilty of it. Even if we don't want to admit it, we've all been suckered into grabbing a bottle of wine off the shelf just because of what's on the label. Seriously, who can resist the "See no evil" on a bottle of Pinot Evil? Research has shown the more a consumer likes the wine label, the more they like the wine. This month we are featuring "Eye Catching Labels – Great Wines" showing off some great wines with whimsical and clever labels. We invite you to join us at the March meeting of the Taste d' Vine Wine Club on the third Thursday of the month, March 16, 6 pm in the Ballroom. Please bring an appetizer such as bread or crackers and cheese, your own favorite bottle of wine if you wish, and a glass or two for tasting and sharing. Members $5, guests $10. Info., (951) 769-6337. ~ Gracy Luna Taste d'Vine Counter Culture Cinema We hope everyone enjoyed watching the Oscars last month; this month we resume our normal schedule of two screenings. Our first monthly screening, on Sunday, March 12 at 6 pm, is the film Florence Foster Jenkins (UK 2016, 1 hr. 51 min., English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "Florence Foster Jenkins, an heiress from NYC, always wanted to be a concert pianist and play Carnegie Hall. An injury in her youth deterred that dream. So she sets out to sing her way to Carnegie Hall knowing the only way to get there would be "practice, practice, practice." Her husband supports her venture and the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins playing Carnegie Hall becomes a truly historic event." Meryl Streep received her 20th Oscar nomination this year for the role of Florence. Our second monthly screening, on Sunday, March 26 at 6 pm, is the film A Man Called Ove (Sweden 2015, 1 hr. 56 min., Swedish with English subtitles). Here is a brief description from IMDb. com: "59-year-old Ove is the block's grumpy man who several years earlier was deposed as president of the condominium association, but he could not give a damn about being deposed and therefore keeps looking over the neighborhood with an iron fist. When pregnant Parvaneh and her family move into the terraced house opposite and accidentally back into Ove's mailbox, it turns out to be an unexpected friendship." This movie was one of this year's Oscar nominees for best foreign film. All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the film; we'd love to have you join us. The Lodge theatre has very limited seating, so if you're interested in our screenings, come early; we hope to see you there. Please note that all films announced are subject to availability. If you have any questions about the Counter Culture Cinema Club or want to recommend a film, please email Micki Rosen at michelesrosen@gmail.com. ~ Micki Rosen
