Description: This month we'd like to shine the light on Women's Bible Study, and it is a bright light. It should be more accurately titled 'Bible Study for Women.' The class is taught by Rosetta Love. Each 8 week session of the class goes over a different book in the Bible. Classes are on Mondays from 10:00 am - 11:30 pm. Students will need to bring their own bible, but it doesn't matter which translation it is. Students also buy a book that is directly related to the book they are discussing that session. There will be other handouts provided by Rosetta.

Featured Activity

Pool
Time: Dailys
Cost: Free members
      Free non-members
Location: The Game Room
Description: With the recent restoration of our pool table, and the kind donation of a new pool bridge, we thought it only fitting to shine the spotlite on pool. Billiards is an umbrella term for billiards and pool, which are not the same thing. Billiards is pool without pockets, played with smaller balls (three balls; white, yellow, and red) striking a ball after a bank. A type of snooker could be played on our table with a bit of imagination. Snooker involves a larger table, smaller pockets and red and colored balls and a white cue, alternating sinking red and colored, except after sinking a colored ball you put it back in it's original spot. Pool involves a table with 6 pockets, a clue ball, and 15 object balls that may or may not be pocketed in order, depending on whether you're playing 8 or 9 ball pool. Nine ball is played with nine balls numbered one through nine, and a cue ball. On each shot the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest-numbered ball on the table, but the ball need not be pocketed in order. Players are not required to call any shot. A match ends when one of the players has won the required number of games (as determined by the players. Eight ball is a call shot game played with a cue ball and fifteen object balls, numbered 1 through 15. One player must pocket ball of the solid colors, and the other player pockets the stripes. The player pocketing his group first and then legally sinking the 8-ball wins. If this sounds confusing we usually have someone in the room playing, especially in the late afternoons. If we get enough interest we can even set up a dedicated pool time for you sharks.
BBQs Kicks off the Summer and 4th of July
By: Mike Sylva
As with most birthdays, it’s a time to get together with family and friends, eat, and celebrate. America’s birthday is no different, so to celebrate it’s 235th, we invited over 150 of our friends for a party! We got the party started a little early, having it on a Friday, so we would continue partying with other friends over the weekend, before the big party on the 4th.

It was a fairly warm day for bbqing, but fortunately for us we chef Marty Steinbrecher on hand to flip burgers in the heat while guests got to sit in the air-conditioned dining room with a cool drink.

We’d like to thank everyone who showed up for this special birthday lunch, especially those who R.S.V.P.’d giving us a chance to order enough food, as well as those who helped us to serve. We’d also like to show our appreciation to Kaiser Permanente for sponsoring the 4th (1st) of July bbq.
