Clay Kautzman

This month we’d like to shine the light on someone who might be unfamiliar to most. Clayton “Clay” Kautzman. Unless you need to be taken for a ride. No, not that type of ride…a TAP ride! Clay is one of our top TAP drivers, taking homebound seniors to various places four days a week. It was his wife, Virginia, another TAP driver, who got him to start driving for us. Not just a TAP driver who also helps out serving dinners at our Thanksgiving but also delivers meals for our Operation Senior Claus. He’d like to do more but, while retired, he still is quite busy as a handyman at all of his and Virginia’s rental properties. Originally from Mandan, North Dakota, he came out to California due to his stint in the Marines. After getting out he went to school to learn more about computers. Following graduation he went to work for Western Union, GTE, then as a contractor out at Norton. Married to Virginia they have two boys, six grandkids, and one great-grandkid. Thanks Clay for taking time out of your busy schedule to take care of others.

Featured Class

Intermediate Computers

Time: 10:00 - 11:00 am
Length: 8 weeks
Cost: $8 members
$8 non-members
Instructor: Ray Carnes
Location: Game Room
Description: This month we’d like to welcome back instructor Ray Carnes. Ray, who taught the computer class during the summer will be taking over for our longtime instructor, Kim Hayes. Kim left for a new and totally different job. Ray was more than willing to continue teaching the class. Ray became interested in computers having taken classes back in highschool. He studied Information Technology in his homeland of Queensland, Australia. He taught I.T. at the University of Redlands, and does work for Odoo, a management software company which produces management software that is also used by teachers. Both classes will start out with a Q & A session to determine where his students are and what they need to learn, and what they would like to work on. Classes will be tailored to fit the needs of the students. Classes are on Thursday, with Computer Desk Top 101 from 9-10 am, and Intermediate Computers from 10-11 am. Sessions are 8 weeks in length, with classes held quarterly. Cost is only $8 for members and non-members.

Featured Activity

Mexican Train Dominoes
Time: Fridays 1:00 pm
Cost: None members
None non-members
Location: Game Room
Description: This month we'd like to shine the light no Mexican Train Dominoes. Mexican Train is a modern version of Dominoes, played with 91 double-twelve dominoes. Between four to eight players may participate, but if less than six people are playing, it is recommended that only the double blank through nine (or a set of Double 9 Dominoes) be used. A unique feature of Mexican Train is the little \"trains\" used for game markers. These may be any sort of marker (such as a bead, button, or coin), but the game\'s more fun if you use actual toy trains. The object of the game is to discard all your dominoes. You discard onto your own train, onto the Mexican train, onto other trains at the station, or onto other players trains. Mexican Train is a fun variation of dominoes, and a great party game. Make sure to have enough dominoes and plenty of the little trains on hand! The train leaves the station on Fridays at 1:00 p.m.
