Description: By Women’s Bible Study we don’t mean one of those gender specific Bibles. It should be more accurately titled as Bible Study for Women. The class is taught by Rosetta Love. Each 8 week session the class goes over a different book in the Bible. Rosetta has also taught it at her church. Students will need to bring their own bible, but it doesn’t matter which translation it is. There are other handouts provided by Rosetta.

Hand and Foot
Time: Wednesdays 10:00 am
Cost: Free members

Location: Game Room
Description: You might think it’s related to Twister but it’s not. It’s actually a card game, related to Canasta. Hand and Foot is a North American game variation where each player is dealt two sets of cards using one as the “hand” and one as the “foot. There are numerous variations of the game and no “standard” rules. You can either play as individuals or as teams. The most common version of the game is played with four players in partnerships; it can also be played by six people in two teams of three or by any number of individuals. The following rules are for our “favorite” way to play with four people, two teams of two. To play you’ll need four to six full decks of 52 cards, including the jokers – Rules vary from one to two decks per player, or one more than the number of players). The aim is to get rid of cards from your hand (11 cards), and then from your foot (11 cards), by melding them. A meld is a set of three to seven cards of equal rank placed face up on the table. The play ends when one of the partners “goes out”. It’s a very popular game here at the center and the group is always looking for new players and are eager to teach people how to play. If you like Hand and Foot, Canasta, or card games in general and you think you might be interested in play, the group meets on Tuesdays at 10:00 am in the Parlor Room.
Daves Retirement Party
By: Mike Sylva
As mentioned last month, we said a fond farewell to our longtime Bookkeeper, Dave Mitchell, as he rode off into the sunset after 15 years of service to our center. Before he left we threw him a little party, just to let him know how much we would miss him. Thanks to those who shared in the potluck and showed up to give Dave a proper sendoff.
