3 REMINDERS CLUB HOURS: Monday Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. MEMBERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES: Remember, it is your responsibility to monitor at least once during the year to be a member in good standing. If you are concerned about making coffee or closing the club, sign up with a friend to help you with the duties. Monitors are to arrive at the club at 10:45 a.m. and are at the club until closing at 4 p.m. A Key Monitor always is there in the morning to help you open the club and find the supplies. You may play games while monitoring but your most important duty is to welcome the members, make sure they have signed in, and to give information to prospective members. Our monitors are the ambassadors for the club and so important to the smooth operation of the club. Monitoring instructions are at the end of this newsletter. ILLNESS: Be considerate of others. If you have something that can be shared, PLEASE do not bring it to the club. We welcome you back after you are feeling better. PERFUME: Consider others, please. Many people are unable to tolerate perfumes so leave it at home when you visit the club. FANS: If this is a problem, bring a jacket or sit away from the fans. NOISE: Please try to be considerate of others but do realize that this is a social club and sometimes we get a little noisy. If the noise bothers your group, try sitting in the long back room where it tends to be less noisy. The most noise is experienced at tables on the dance floor where there is no carpet to help muffle the talking. PLAYERS NEEDED: There are flags available to use if you need another player at your table. Let s welcome new members into our groups.. MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES The club is open to female Sun City West residents with a valid Recreation Center Card. New members may join anytime during the year ($20 membership fee plus $5 for a name badge). We do not accept credit cards or cash; check only, please. We welcome all new members who joined after the membership booklet was published. New members' names are listed at the end of this newsletter. Please insert this page into your membership booklet. 3 6/20/2017

5 6/20/2017 THURSDAY GAME DAY Thursday Game Day is a great opportunity to learn a new game (or games) and, even more importantly, make new friends! We encourage you to come alone and/or use this as an opportunity to introduce our Club to a friend. You don t have to register just show up at 12:30 and be ready to enjoy the afternoon. PROGRESSIVE (SOCIAL) BRIDGE Join a fun group of ladies who enjoy social bridge each Tuesday. This group has been playing for many years but has room for more tables. Meet at the club at 11:30; seating is on a first come, first served basis; play begins at 12:30 p.m. Four rounds of six hands are played. At the last table, the lady who has the highest score at that table receives 50 cents from the other 3 ladies. For those who come early, practice hands are played until the official start. Social Bridge is also played each Saturday at noon. Sign-up is required one week in advance. Call Mona Hiler at The same rounds are played and prize money is awarded. 3rd MONDAY POTLUCK LUNCHEONS: Luncheons will continue during the summer. We will need additional help in the kitchen as some of our regulars will not be here. When you sign up to attend the luncheon and, if you are willing, write in a W next to your name which indicates that you will help that day. Your duties will be to arrive at 10:30 a.m., collect the food as members come into the club, put food in the refrig or stove, make coffee, set up the tables, set the food out on the tables, etc., - and, as a reward, you will be able to go through the buffet line first! Always a good thing! After the lunch, only the spoons are washed so clean-up is done quickly and you can enjoy an afternoon of cards. IMPORTANT LUNCHEON RULES Bring a dish to share that will feed 8-10 people. No crackers or chips. Bring desserts only if you have signed up for desserts. All items should be cut and ready to serve. Please make sure they are not still frozen. Do not bring spoons or serving utensils as they may get lost. After the meal, if you wish to save your item, cover it and place in refrig or appropriate storage. The club will not wash your dish or put it away. Your covers, aluminum wrap and plastic wrap will be next to the table after the meal. If you would like others to take your left-overs home, leave them on the serving table or distribute to your friends. Please remember that if you don t participate in the luncheon, you are asked to wait until after 1 p.m. to enter the club for cards. Also, if you did not bring food to share, please do not take food or desserts from the buffet tables. SUNSHINE COMMITTEE If you know of someone who is ill or has lost a loved one, please advise our Sunshine Chairperson, Janice Pavelka at so that a card can be sent. It is so important to let our members know that we are thinking about them during their time of distress. 5
