Meet and Eat

Meet and Eat is an opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and enjoy friends you already know.   We get together on the second Wednesday of the month.  We dine at one of the nearby restaurants.

Encore Wanderers

A couple times a year, groups travel to fun locations for a few days of relaxation, excursions or whatever the chosen location offers.

Food and Fun

Food and Fun is a very popular activity.  It is a potluck themed dinner.  Members bring an appetizer, side dish, salad, entrée, or a dessert appropriate for the night’s theme.  The night begins with a Happy Hour followed by dinner. After dinner, it’s game time! The game might be played in teams or as individuals. Prizes may be awarded. The evening concludes with dessert.  This a great way to have fun and meet new people.

GO

GO activities are unique, often one-of-a-kind trips to various places nearby. In the past we have enjoyed Happy Hours at local wineries, glass blowing demonstrations, trash and treasures. We have many more surprises coming up.  Oh.. the places you’ll go..  

Hand and Foot

Daytime Hand and Foot is a fun card game.  It is a variation of the game Canasta, but played with a partner.  Players are dealt two sets of cards, a hand and a foot.  Then the game begins. Four rounds later the winners are decided.  It is easy to learn and members are available to teach anyone who wants to learn.

Hand and Foot with Partners

This is the same game as Hand and Foot, but you sign up with a partner and it’s played in the evening.  It’s a fun and challenging game to play with friends while you socialize.

Hand Knee and Foot

Hand Knee and Foot is a new version of Hand and Foot but with an additional set of cards, a knee. It is a bit more complex than Hand and Foot but you will enjoy the challenge.  Players need to strategize, however, luck plays a big part!  If you don’t know how to play, lessons are given to those who want to learn.

Hand Knee and Foot with Partners

Easy to learn and exciting to play, Hand, Knee & Foot with Partners is a terrific way to spend a Saturday evening with your Encore friends.  This card game is a variation on Canasta that’s played with four players using six decks of cards.  Strategic thinking mixes with the “luck of the draw” and you’ll find yourself excited to play every time.  Sign up with a spouse, partner or friend.

Let’s Go Girls!

Let’s Go Girls! will meet the second Thursday of each month.  It’s a time when we will dance, karaoke, go bowling, learn to paint, learn wine pairing, or see a play.  The list is endless.  Whether we meet in someone’s home or go out, it Is an opportunity for us to have fun and build lasting friendships.

Monday Mahjong

Our mahjong group meets the second Monday of the month.  Mahjong is played with tiles. Four people play at each table.  It’s challenging, but fun!  if you don’t know how to play, we will find someone to teach you. 

Mexican Train

Mexican Train is a version of dominoes that we all enjoyed as children, but with twists.  When you create your “train” and have used all your dominoes you have won that hand. An extra advantage for all players is the “Mexican Train”.  Hop on board!
