Scrabble Club Submitted by Carolin Lowy All residents who enjoy spelling games, crossword puzzles, reading and just hanging out with your neighbors, we meet throughout the year every Monday evening at the Lakeside Club House at Rec.v1. Games officially begin at 6:30 p.m. However, enthusiastic participants are known to start playing by 6:15 p.m. The club has all the supplies needed, including official dictionaries and word lists as per The International Scrabble group. Scrabble and Upwords are the two games available. We have the super large Scrabble board that has 400 squares that creates very interesting and high scoring games.

Leisure World Quilters Submitted by Carol Stickling I hope everyone is enjoying our wonderful Arizona weather! February was a very productive month. We completed our Monsters in the Closet Quilt and had enough monsters left to make a second quilt. In March, we will be making a lap quilt pattern called “Wonky Star” using half-square triangles. On March 19, we will be participating in the Spring Craft Fair. We will have quilts and other miscellaneous items for sale in the Queen Card Room. A quilt will be raffled off and tickets may be purchased from any of our quilt group members. We will have our spring luncheon in March for all our members with good food and great conversations! For more information, please contact Merrilly Strom at 480-699-9352 or Linda Phar at 480-510-0498. Leisure World Woodworking Club Submitted by Larry Bair The woodworkers are busy in the Wood Shop building projects to please and accommodate others. Projects big and small require the use of fine tools owned by the club. Our annual club membership fee is $20.
