Southbay Friends: Boardgames & More

Let's play board games! As my usual games nights, we will meet at the Round Table on Redmond and Almaden Expressway in Almaden Valley. We will be in the room with the games from 3PM until 9PM but you are free to come and go anytime between those hours and order food at anytime.

I will bring an assortment of card and board games with a mixture of party games, word games, and strategy games. You bring your appetite, sense of humor, and any additional games you'd like to play.

We usually have around 15-20 people attend so we will certainly have multiple games going at once. We usually have both beginner-friendly easy-to-learn games and medium to complex strategy games going at the same time so all levels are welcome!

My 4 main rules:

1. Order at least 1 item off of their menu, even if it's a beverage or appetizer. Since they don't charge is to rent the room, it's only fair that we contribute to their business.
2. No Cards Against Humanity or any other games with vulgar language or content allowed at this event (this is a family friendly restaurant).
3. We must be done playing and packed up by their 9PM closing time.
4. Please be polite and respectful to other gamers

If you have trouble finding the place, call them at 1 408 997-2313.

Notes:

• Cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛ live here. Don’t let the black cat escape out the front door!
• New people, don't come early, please. 7:15 is a good time to come.
• Everyone, if possible, please heed the note further down to let us know what you’re bringing.

Games, games and more games!

We can play party games, Eurogames, card games, strategy games, dice games, etc.

Bring your games (if you have some and want to bring them) :), yourself and a food item (dinner-ish preferred or snack-type) to share. You may bring alcohol if you wish. I'll have sodas, some snacks and some other dish I imagine. :) When you know what you're going to bring, leave a comment telling us, so people will have an idea of what's going to be here, in case they need help making a decision.

Well, that's it I guess. Hope to see you there! :D

If no one calls to confirm the day before, I will cancel the class. Please be sure to call me at 408 223-7776 land line or 408 449-6506 cell phone.

I will teach you about the true source of your stress, how to reduce stress, and how to react differently to the unpleasant events that you experience. I will help you to see that you are more powerful than your emotions. Then, we will practice the technique that you have just learned. You will practice letting go of the barriers to your success and you will let go of unpleasant emotions. Students often report that the pain has "melted away." I offer to give Reiki to students as we practice what we have learned. Reiki is optional. Some students become so relaxed that they fall asleep. Please check out "Reiki" on the internet before you arrive.

I hold the class no matter how few students attend unless no one signs up by 5 PM the day before. You might get a private session if no one else shows up. No fee at this time.

If Wednesday nights are difficult, you could suggest a time and date and if I am available, I will post an extra Meetup event. I am retired so I could hold the class almost anytime.

Wheelchair friendly. Please call if you need a ramp over the single step (six inch step).

I have been researching what causes stress and what to do about it for over thirty years. I wrote a book and began selling it in 1992. I edited it and reprinted it three times. I have been teaching Stress reduction classes for about ten years. I have helped many people with stress issues over the years. I hope that you will join us soon.

• Important!
Please call the day before the event to confirm your desire to attend. If no one confirms, I willl cancel the class.

• What we'll do

I will help you repair your clothing, teach you to use your own sewing machine, or repair your clothing for you.

During one clinic, we repaired two pair of pants, one pair of shorts, one blouse, one sports bag, and one reusable shopping bag. I taught two men to hem their own pants. I did much of the sewing, but they measured, cut, and ironed.

I have repaired coats, blankets, pillow cases, and a lamp shade. I have created a lamp shade and an apron without a pattern. I instructed a woman on how to make a square dance skirt without a pattern (her friends were amazed) and one on how to sew a cover for an outdoor piece of furniture. The woman who made the cover insisted upon buying the amount of material that she have computed, but with my suggestion, she had so much left over that she made a cover for the outdoor grill. I altered clothing for a woman who lost 40lbs so that she could wait to buy more clothing until after she reached her goal weight.

I host a vegan potluck board and board games event afterwards.

• What to bring

Bring clothing, curtains, blankets, or anything else that you would like sewn. Also, bring anything that you might have from when you were planning to repair it: matching thread, a special patch, or the piece that ripped off.

• Important to know

If you bring too much, I can always advise you on what can be done and what alternatives you have for those items that are not repaired on the day of the event. So, bring it all.

Warning: If you arrive late you will be given a lower priority. If you arrive more than an hour late, you will be given very low priority.
