Military Veterans

Since the start of 2023, the Veterans Club has added seven new members. Greetings to all new members; we welcome you and your significant other. The officers and I are already looking to 2024 with anticipation. We will incorporate new club activities and, hopefully, even more new members. The club’s existence relies on member participation, i.e., attending formal meetings, social events, and your input.

I am thankful for our members, and I trust other senior members will attend future events. No pun intended. The club’s next meeting is August 21 at 1830 hours in the Vista Room. We hope to see you there!

Ping Pong

Now you can have twice as much fun with Ping Pong. We are adding another day. Sunday mornings are now available for playtime in the Garden Room. Tables will be set and ready for play on both Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9 - 10:30 a.m. All skill levels are welcome. On Saturday mornings at 10 a.m., a table is available for newcomers and/or those who need a refresher. We look forward to seeing you there. For more information contact Sherry Hargrove.

Pinochle

If you play Pinochle, plan to join us on Friday evenings at 6:30 p.m. sharp in the Heritage Room at Rec Ctr 2. June had five Fridays. We voted to play partners on the first two Fridays. Linda Owen and Cathie Joy were the winning pair with three Double Pinochles in six games for a score of 7930 on June 2, and Alice McNany and Cathie Joy took first place on June 9 scoring 6650.

Jane Knesel returned from a cruise in top Pinochle-playing form earning a high six-game score of 4040 and a high total of all games for the month at 11,180. Congratulations to all our winners.

Republican

The Republican Club hopes everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July. We are blessed to live in the greatest country in the world and should celebrate every year.

Our next event will be held on Sunday, August 13 in the Vista Room from 3-5 p.m. Let’s try a Potluck Dinner. We have not done this before so this will be a new adventure. Everyone, bring your favorite main dish, salad or dessert, and we should have a great array of goodies. The guest speaker will be Karen Sewell from the Orange County GOP and will be discussing Election Integrity.

We will send out an email blast and one will be sent from the office as well in plenty of time to make your plans.

Cost for dues is $10 for an individual and $15 for a couple.

Defibrillators at Both Recreation Centers

Casta has automated external defibrillators, AEDs, located at both Rec Ctrs 1 and 2 near the pool areas. AEDs are devices that give an electric shock to a person’s heart in order to make it beat normally again, especially after a heart attack. AEDs are designed for use by untrained or briefly trained people. They contain technology for analysis of heart rhythm. Casta also has emergency phones at each pool area. The phones are red and for emergency use only. Any questions, please call the Rec Ctr 1 office at (949) 455-4681.
