Bowling League – 202/2027 Season

Come and join us for Prayers every Thursday morning from 10:30 pm to 11:00 am in the chapel. All are welcome. 

Something New!!!!

There will be a special breakfast for all our volunteers on the last Friday of each month starting at 9:30 a.m. There will be coffee, tea and muffins and/or pastries.

The purpose of this breakfast is to create a time for our volunteers to answer any questions you may have and to plan the needs for the coming months.

In other words, it is like a mini meeting for volunteers with the Activities Director.

We know all too well how important your involvement is to us!

Also, if you are interested in volunteering in the residence, please contact your Activities Director. He will be able to find a project that would interest you.

Join us this month for a delicious restaurant outing! 🍕

Bowling League – 2026/2027 Season

Join us for different card games. The games can vary depending on the number of players present. Come and meet Pierre and Yvette to learn more about the game(s) of the day.

Bridge is played with 4 players, the players being symbolized by the 4 cardinal points (North, East, South and West). The two players sitting opposite each other form a team that plays against the other two players.

One player takes a deck of 52 cards and, after shuffling them, deals them clockwise.

The object of the game is to make as many tricks as possible in a contract that can be played in no-trump (SA) or trump (♠, ♥, ♦, ♣).

Join us for an engaging discussion about the place of older adults in our society. Inspired by the Living Our Ages project, this workshop invites participants to reflect on the images, perceptions, and realities of aging portrayed in the media and in public spaces.

In a welcoming and respectful atmosphere, we will explore age-related stereotypes, the diversity of life experiences, and ways to promote a more accurate and inclusive representation of older adults. Whether you would like to share your experiences or simply listen to others, your participation will help enrich the conversation.

📍 Location: Cinema
📅 Date: November 12
🕒 Time: 1:30 p.m.

Do you enjoy playing bingo? If so, you can join our regular Bingo group.

This activity takes place every Thursday at 2:00 p.m. in the Activities Room.

You will have the chance to win several prizes.

Good Luck to All!

Game sequence

1. Choosing trump

The card turned up above the stock offers a suit as trump.

Each player can accept or refuse to make this suit trump.

Accept: If a player accepts, this suit becomes trump for the round.

Refuse: If all players refuse, a second phase begins in which players can propose another suit as trump.

2. Trump cards

Trump is the dominant suit for the round. Trump cards override all other suits.

The right Jack is the strongest card.

The “Left Jack” (jack of the same suit as trump) is the second-highest card.

3. Playing tricks

The player to the left of the dealer plays the first card.

Each player, in turn, must follow the suit played if possible.

If a player cannot follow, he may play a trump card or discard another card.

Points

If the trump team wins 3 or more tricks, it scores points.

3 or 4 tricks: 1 point.

5 tricks (perfect round): 2 points.

If the opposing team wins more tricks, they score 2 points (“Euchre”).

Popular variations

Solo game: One player can declare that he will play alone against the other three. If he succeeds, he scores more points.

3-player variation: Each player plays for himself.

End of game

The game ends when a team reaches a predefined score, usually 10 points.
