Description: This month we'd like to introduce you to the mysterious and mystical world of our Magic Class. There you'll be taught by Stephen Micklas, a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Come learn basic magic, including misdirection, card magic, and close up magic (coin manipulation). Students learn inexpensive tricks that Grandparents can do, to amaze their friends, family and, of course, Grandkids. Students are only required to bring a deck of cards and maybe some rope or string. Most of the tricks students learn can be done with things found around the house. Stephen will bring in most of the other props needed. You just need to bring a 3 ring binder for notes and handouts. For those interested in magic you just need to remember a few things. Magic is a bit of misdirection and a lot of acting. If you are going to be a member of the class you will be taught a lot of secrets. Remember, that a Magician never reveals his secrets. You also need to practice to do it well. So if you'd like to amaze your family and friends, sign up. For you who already know a card trick or two Stephen is ready to show our Seniors that you can teach an old dog, new tricks.

Description: In the last few months we have had a few groups drop out. The weird part is that they were groups with lots of players. So this month we are forming interest lists to see if we can get them back again. The groups consists of Women’s Poker, Double Pinochle, and Single Pinochle. Groups that form first get first shot at days and times. An update on the Bridge interest list. We have five people signed up but there have been more people who have asked about it. If you don’t put your name on the interest lists, then your vote doesn’t count. So if you’re interested in any of these activities, please stop by the front desk and put your name on the list.
