Special Events
THIS MONTH
SURPRISE SOCIAL
Monday, November 25th at 1:00 pm
Join us for a Fall Treat!
Canasta
Canasta is a card game of the rummy family of games believed to be a variant of 500 Rum. Although many variations exist for two, three, five or six players, it is most commonly played by four in two partnerships with two standard decks of cards. Players attempt to make melds of seven cards of the same rank and "go out" by playing all cards in their hand. It is "the most recent card game to have achieved worldwide status as a classic".
Canasta is played the First & Third Fridays of the month.
Euchre
Euchre is a trick-taking card game commonly played in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain, and the United States. It is played with a deck of 24, 28, or 32 standard playing cards. Normally there are four players, two on each team, although there are variations that range from two to nine players.
Euchre is played the second & fourth Fridays of the month.
Movie Day
Come sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie! We have movie days the second and fourth Fridays of the month at 9:15. A variety of movies are shown, so there is something for everyone. Make it easy on yourself and enjoy congregate lunch after the movie!
Bunco
Bunco is a dice game generally played with twelve or more players, divided into groups of four, trying to score points while taking turns rolling three dice in a series of six rounds. A bunco is achieved when a person rolls three-of-a-kind and all three numbers match the round number.
Bunco is played the First Wednesday of the month.

Looking for a new hobby to try? Come in & diamond paint with us!
What is diamond painting you ask? Diamond painting is a combination of cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers. In Diamond Painting, you apply thousands of tiny resin "diamonds" to a coded adhesive canvas to create shimmering Diamond Art. Diamond painting reduces stress and anxiety, stimulates creativity, boosts artistic confidence, fine-tunes motor skills, increases hand-eye coordination, unplugs you from technology, and is great for your overall mental health. Call & sign up today!
