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.

Health Fair 2012
By: Mike Sylva
Maybe it was the prior rain, and gloomy skies. Or maybe it was the lack of a flu shot shortage, or concerns of a flu epidemic. Or maybe, just maybe, it was because of the seemingly year round availability of shots. Whatever the reason was the crowd was a bit thinner this year at the center’s annual Health Fair. That made it a bit nicer for those who did show up at they weren’t standing in line for a hour, getting impatient and simply wanting to get their flu shot and go. Still, for free flu shots this year, when other places are charging $25 a shot, we thought more people would brave the cold weather.
This year people came in at a more leisurely pace and were able to stop at each table, talk to the various vendors, and pick up lots of useful information before getting their shot. It may have been a trickle, but at least it was a steady trickle with new people arriving all morning. The sad part is the inevitable amount of phone calls we will receive after the event wanting to know if they can still come in for a shot.
Thanks to the volunteers who came to set up and work the fair, all of our wonderful vendors who came out to make this a success. Additional thanks go our to the Highland Police Department’s Citizen’s Patrol for their excellent traffic control. Mostly we would like to thank our event sponsors, the Physicians of Beaver Medical Group and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
