We welcomed two new players on Sept. 5, Susan and Ed Kopecky. We look forward to the return of our snowbirds and encourage those who enjoy Euchre to join us on Thursday evenings at 6:30. Bring a dollar toward the prize money, sign in, and play a few practice hands before the call, “Deal them up!” We play at PC’s Clubhouse in the Palm Room. There you will hear, “left bower,” “right bower,” “I’ll go alone” and “That’s a euchre!”
Pinochle
Skip Holmes
At last, fall has arrived and not a day too soon. Actually, the summer was really hot, but perhaps not as long as in recent years. We haven’t had a triple digit day since September 17. However, as it cools down pinochle starts to heat up. Snowbirds are coming back, welcome, and new homeowners are joining our group.
