Let’s play cards!

Hand & Foot, No experience required

Charlene Taylor is organizing a card group to play Hand & Foot. It’s a popular, fun, and easy-to-learn card game. The plan is to meet at a central location. Place and frequency to be determined; likely 1-2 times a month.

This time we are meeting at Mountain Mike's Pizza at 1900 S St., Sacramento at 1:00 pm. Come early to have a bite to eat; self pay.

A typical game lasts 1.5-2 hours. A survey will be conducted to determine frequency, day, and time.

You do not need to know how to play; it is easy to learn but be aware, it is addictive!!! If you are interested in joining, email Charlene at charlenetaylor2@comcast.net or text/call 916-600-6224.

October General Meeting (October 17, 2026)

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Saskatoon, Canada Revisited

Join us for our monthly general membership meeting on Saturday, Oct 17. Our ambassadors who journeyed to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in June will be sharing their journey with us.

Twelve members of the Sacramento club were hosted by the Friendship Force of Saskatoon, Canada. Our club enjoyed the Saskatoon visit to Sacramento in 2024 so much that we were delighted to visit them and learn about that part of Canada. They shared with us their beautiful tree covered city, with it’s large river that reminded us of Sacramento. We saw wonderful art galleries, visited First Nation sites, enjoyed a “scavenger hunt” in their cute downtown area.

Friendships were made or rekindled as we shared food and laughter. It was a wonderful Journey.

We will be meeting at the Fair Oaks Library, 1601 Fair Oaks Blvd., Fair Oaks at 3:30 pm.

Please register so we know how many to expect.
