The Bocce season will begin its Spring season of 2018 in March. Sign-ups will be March 1 in the Lodge ballroom at 1 pm. The first game of the season will be March 15, starting time at 9 am . We will play the Traditional Bocce as we did in the spring season of this year, 2017. The rules are simple and designed for a "fun" time of playing Bocce at our Four Seasons community. The rules are posted in the Multipurpose Game Room at the Lodge. Sign-ups will be for the four person team, "spare tires" allowed. The fee will remain the same in 2018 as it was in 2017, $22 per player. The Awards BBQ/banquet will follow the end of the season and will be announced later. The season will be between seven to 12 weeks. This will be determined by the number of teams that sign up to play. Orville Ellingworth will do his usual super job of scheduling. We invite any interested individuals to attend our Committee meetings. The next scheduled meeting is Feb. 2 at 10 am in the Conference Room at the Lodge. Remember any resident of Four Seasons may sign out the Bocce equipment and play at any time. The Lodge attendant will be happy to assist you! If you are new to the game and would like some coaching, please contact me to set up a day and time.

We will have signups on Thurs., Aug. 23 at 1 pm in the Ballroom. I will send emails to all former players to remind them. We will play for 10 weeks on Thursday mornings starting at 9 am. The first day of play will be Thurs., Sept. 6. The first game will begin at 9 am. Finals will be on Thurs., Nov. 15 and the awards party will follow sometime in January. Date and time of the party will be announced later. Please mark your calendars for these dates! There is a group who are practicing most Monday and Friday mornings. They start at 9 am now that it has cooled off. Come out and join them, they are great teachers for anyone new to shuffleboard and this is a fun sport, easy to learn and easy on the joints! If the winter stays mild, I would like to have a one day event. Royce Jerman suggested we call it the "Mystery Partner" shuffleboard game. We have six courts and each court can accommodate four players. Four number 1's, four number 2's, etc. go into the bucket. You will draw a number and then find the three other players with your number. The four players will decide how to form the two two person teams. Let the matches begin! Please let me know what you think of this idea. I am also available to help new players learn the game, just contact me and we will set a date and time. For more information, contact Sue Malarkey at (951) 223-3056, or email csm86301@aol.com. Shuffleboard Bocce Horseshoes Silver sneakers Come out and join us for fun at the pits Saturdays at 6 pm.

Pickleball I am investigating the possibility of bringing Silver Sneakers; a FREE fitness membership benefit of most Medicare Advantage Plans, to Four Seasons Hemet. If you have one of many Medicare Advantage plans like: AARP United Health Care, Aetna Medicare Select, SCAN, Humana Gold, AARP Medicare Complete, Secure Horizons, Blue Shield 65 Plus, Kaiser Senior Advantage Plus and more, you probably also have the added benefit of free fitness classes from Silver Sneakers. Contact LaDean Hatcher, (951) 677-7166, if you would be interested in participating in these classes.
