POKER, ANYONE?
LADIES! DO YOU PLAY POKER? How long has it been since you’ve played with friends? Did you know there’s a game every Monday night at the Clubhouse just for the ladies? Well, we really don’t have a “No Boys Allowed!!!” Rule, but men usually don’t like to play with wild cards and we do. But they’re welcome to play as long as they are willing to “play like girls”. It is most likely the least stressful and least expensive poker you can play around here! It’s a good night to socialize with the ladies and make new friends with the girls who like to play poker. The stakes are very low.
Call Polly Brown, 731-1614, if you’d like to join us – she’ll fill you in on the details or answer any questions you may have.

BINGO PROTOCOL
Because we want everyone who wants to play Bingo to feel safe, and, more importantly, to BE safe, Bingo at Tara Woods will follow the CDC Guidelines and Hometown America’s requirements pertaining to the Clubhouse. These restrictions will be strictly adhered to and there will be no exceptions! • Tables will be sanitized prior to admission. • All workers will wear masks and gloves. • There will be only one (1) entry door and it will open at 5:45 PM. • Maximum people allowed in the hall is 50, including workers. • Temperatures will be taken at the door. Anyone with a temperature over 100.4 degrees will not be admitted. • Everyone must wear a mask when not in their seat at their table. • Only residents of Tara Woods can play. Visitors and/or guests are not allowed. • Proof of residency will be required at the door, such as your Tara Woods name tag or Florida ID showing your street address in Tara Woods. • Tables and chairs have been arranged to provide for social distancing and must not be moved or changed. • Due to the limited seating, there will be no saving seats for anyone. • There will be no concessions for now, but you may bring your own snacks and beverages.
If anyone refuses to comply with these provisions, they will be asked to leave. Should they refuse to leave and cannot be persuaded to do so by others, the Bingo session will be terminated, and the hall will be vacated. No refunds will be given.
These are very trying times and many of us are ready for something to change. If we all do our part and follow these guidelines, we can stay safe and have some fun. If you have any questions, call Polly Brown at 239-246-2391.
