And after hes been hooked I will play the one that is on his heart - Lady Ga Ga Do you know when to hold em ? How about fold em ? If you do great. If not even better. You're the kinda girl they're looking for! Our women's poker group started as a result of the growing popularity a few years ago. And while the buzz has died down, it's still a popular game for a few lucky ladies here at the center. In recent years, Poker has seen growth in popularity not only with men, but with women. Poker tournaments such as the World Poker Tour, and Full Tilt, as well as the explosion of poker parlors and on-line games, and televised poker games, has seen to more people enjoying the game. The rules are pretty basic, but each group has adapted variations, including different wild cards. Don't worry if this is your first time. This group is eager to welcome everyone into their game, even if you have a WSOP bracelet. We have the cards, tables, and chips. All you need to bring is some dark glasses, nerves of steel, and a great poker face. The group meets on Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. So if you'd like to give it a try stop by the front desk and ask them to deal you in.
Chocolate Bingo
By: Mike Sylva
Back in August we hosted a Chocolate Bingo in conjunction with Liz Chavez with Inter Valley Health Plan (IVHP). Chocolate Bingo is just like normal bingo only the stakes are a little bit sweeter. The names on the board were bingo but instead of numbers they were names after various chocolates. So one had to listen for I - Godiva, B - Milk Chocolate to fill out their cards. Also there were no dobbers here. Boards were covered with m&m’s, but you had to be able to withstand the desire to eat them, or you couldn’t cover your board.

If one was lucky enough to hold off eating the markers, and you managed to get a bingo, winners were paid out in chocolate. So at the end, even the losers got to finally eat their markers, so that every sweet tooth was satisfied.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to play, as well as Liz Chavez with IVHP for this fun and tasty event.
