Epic Movie Night
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”
Apr. 9 • 7:00 pm • Aud • FREE
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is an epic,
three-hour, fantasy-adventure film. It is the first of
three films based on the 1937 novel “The Hobbit”
by J. R. R. Tolkein.
Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) lives a sim-
ple life with his fellow hobbits in the shire, until the
wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) arrives and convinc-
es him to join a group of dwarves on a quest to re-
claim the kingdom of Erebor.
The journey takes Bilbo on a path through treach-
erous lands swarming with orcs, goblins, and other
dangers, not the least of which is an encounter
with Gollum (Andy Serkis) and a simple gold ring
that is tied to the fate of Middle Earth in ways Bilbo
cannot even fathom. Rated PG-13.
Bring your favorite beverage and snacks.

Apr. 3 • 7:00 pm • Auditorium • FREE
In the 1960s, Cambridge Univer-
sity student and future physicist
Stephen Hawking (Eddie Red-
mayne) falls in love with fellow
collegian Jane Wilde (Felicity
Jones). At 21, Hawking learns
that he has motor neuron dis-
ease. Despite this -- and with
Jane at his side -- he begins an ambitious study of
time, of which he has very little left, according to
his doctor. He and Jane defy terrible odds and
break new ground in the fields of medicine and
science, achieving more than either could hope
to imagine.
“The Theory of Everything” was nominated for
the Academy Award for Best Motion Picture. Ed-
die Redmayne won the Academy Award for Best
Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as
Stephen Hawking. Rated PG-13.

Movie Night: “Nebraska”
Apr. 2 • 7:00 pm • Auditorium • FREE
Cantankerous old buzzard Woody Grant (Bruce
Dern) can barely walk down the street of his
home in Billings, Montana, without stopping for
a drink. So, when Woody receives a sweep-
stakes notice in the mail and insists on making a
750-mile trip to Lincoln, Nebraska to collect his
prize, it falls to baffled
son David (Will Forte)
to accompany him.
During a stop in their
Nebraska hometown,
word gets out about
Woody's fortune, first
making him a hero,
then later, the target
of predatory people.
Nebraska is a 2013 American comedy-drama. It’s
a black-and-white road film that was nominated
for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Rated R.

A Message From Dale
I have made some good friends this season, and
I thank you for that. It was a pleasure to serve
you. The staff and the office volunteers had fun
working together.
The Activity Office has exciting events and en-tertainment planned for you in the 2015-16 Sea-son. So far, we have scheduled 6 dances with great bands like Two’s Company, Tom Chestnut, Big D & Ricky G, Bob Kay - the Singing Drummer, and the Desert Knights. We will again host the Original Wildcat Jass Band and the high-energy student Pep Band from the University of Arizo-na. Members of the Tucson Symphony Orches-tra will be here with their Brass Quintet. Past favorites Keith Longbotham and Mario Carboni will also return by popular demand. Watching talented young people is always fun, so the Mar-iachi Aztlan Band, the number one Mariachi high school band in Arizona (if not in the US) will come and take your breath away. We have thrown some Bluegrass into the music mix with the Bost Family performers from Cochise Coun-ty. They travel the US from Branson to L.A. A couple of newcomers this year are James Reid, juggler-extraordinaire, with his light show, and Bill Harrison, Arizona’s Road Scholar. These are just some of the entertainers tentatively lined up for you!
Pack your safari gear for next fall! The Club
groups are planning a Safari Parade and Casino
Night next season.
All of the daily club and Activity Office spon-
sored events will continue. So come and enjoy
everything from Tai Chi before the sun rises, to
coffee and donuts on Fridays mornings. Take a
class to learn a new craft, play Bingo, and much
more! Visit www.rinconcountry.com and click
on the Scheduled Activities Calendar to keep
informed about all of the available activities at
RCW next season.
We hope to see you again next year! In the
meantime, safe travels to all of you!

The class uses 8 different DVD’s that work on
balance and weight training, stretching, and
walking up to 3 or 4 miles each week. All you
need are comfortable, clothes, shoes, and hand
weights. If you have a set of hand weights and
resistance bands at home try to remember to
bring them back with you for next season’s clas-
ses.
Look for us in the Rec. Hall Monday – Thursday
from 7:45 am - 8:45 am. It’s just one short, fun-
filled hour. Come join us! All are welcome!!
I would personally like to thank you all for your

this season. It has been my pleasure to lead you
this season, and I hope you had as much fun as I
did! The class will resume on November 2nd. Until
then, have a happy and healthy summer, and
hurry back to RCW.
I would also like to thank the entire class for
your generous gift. It was overwhelming! This
year, I have decided to donate the gift to the Ari-
zona Community Food Bank and Casa De Los Ni-
ños. Casa de los Niños provides shelter and edu-
cation, for children and families, from abuse and
neglect. Counseling, crisis care, and substance
abuse treatments are now available in our com-

less fortunate. Thanks
again for everything. You

Aerobics (Low Impact)
Spring is here at RCW, but many of you have
homes which are still under snow and colder
weather. You might want to wait until the end of
April to start traveling up north, east and west.
Aerobics will probably go through the 3rd week
of April. Why not start now and keep moving, so
that on your journey home it might be easier
getting in and out of your vehicle while you are
on the road. By exercising now, you will have a
jump start on getting ready for all your summer
activities.

Bicycle Club
The RCW Bicycle Club will gather each Monday
morning at 9:15 am in the parking lot behind the
Woodshop.
THE RIDES: See bulletin boards for ride details.
These Monday rides will be on bike trails or roads
with little traffic and are 8 to 15 miles (round trip)
in length at an easy pace, about 10 mph - and no
one is left behind.
Some rides may require transportation of riders
and bikes to and from the starting location. As
sufficient transportation for all the bikes may be
in short supply, trucks or other vehicles that can
carry a number of bikes will be much appreciated
as we don’t want to leave anyone behind.
HELMETS AND SIGNING A WAIVER RELEASE FORM ARE REQUIRED.

were able to complete over 50 quilts for the Ari-
zona School for the Deaf & Blind.
We are in need of fabric for the forthcoming win-
ter season, so please consider this cause as a re-
cipient of your unused fabrics. Large pieces will
be utilized as quilt backs; smaller pieces are cut
into 9-1/2” squares, which are sewn in a 6 x 6 con-
figuration.
If you would like to complete a quilt top or two
over the summer months from a “kit” of pre-cut
squares and selected embellishments, contact
me. Have a wonderful summer.

Birding Club It's been a wonderful season for the Birding Club,
reuniting with friends and meeting new ones to
share our birding adventures. Join us for poten-
tially exciting birding in April as migrants pass
through and warblers and hummingbirds return.
There will be a "pop up" birding trip on April 3rd,
to be announced a few days prior.
The last official birding club outing will be April 10
to Mount Lemmon as we listen and look for
some spring favorites -- Canyon Wren, Red-faced
warblers and Olive warblers. It can be chilly on
Mt. Lemmon even in April, so be sure to dress in
layers.
Bring the usual binoculars, camera, scope, water,
lunch/snacks, sturdy walking shoes, and money
to contribute to drivers. It's a 100 mile round trip
to the top of Mt. Lemmon.
Meet at Classrooom 1 Friday morning at 7:00 am
unless we have announced otherwise.
Enjoy summer birding wherever you go, and we'll
look forward to seeing you next fall during our
human migration to Rincon Country West.

We meet every Thursday morning, from 9:00
am - 11:00 am in Classroom 1. If you are unfamil-
iar with Brazilian Embroidery, we do a form of
hand embroidery which uses colorful rayon
thread to create beautiful dimensional stitches,
resulting in lovely pictures.
If you have never tried hand embroidery, we
can teach you! Or if you have done other forms
of embroidery, come challenge yourself to try
this type. It will exercise your mind and your
hands. We have many experienced stitchers
who are happy to share their work and help
newcomers.

Room every Thursday from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.
Each season, we deliver over 150 quilts in the
Tucson community to the VA, Agape Hospice,
Emerge, Casa de Los Ninos, and the Ronald

hope for a speedy recovery from whatever
health issue you are dealing with.

Dulcimer Players Anyone can be a musician!
Beginning in December of 2015, mountain dulci-
mer players are invited to get together with other
dulcimer players to play and learn.
Beginners and novices will be welcomed. Ad-
vanced players will be worshipped. We will each
share our knowledge and skills with each other so
we can all continue to develop as players.
The mountain dulcimer is simple to learn. It only
has three strings. Those who do not read music
can easily play songs using “tabulature” or “tab,”
which translates the notes to numbers.
Each person will need to provide their own dulci-
mer. If you don’t already have one, there are
many sources.
An approximate number of people is needed in
order to know what size of space we need for our
gatherings.
If you are interested, or have any questions,
please contact:

Golf Well, the season is coming to a close too quickly.
It has been a great year and will be better next
year.
First of all, let's close out 2015. April closes out
with the Tuesday group playing at 49 ER and Tu-
bac, while the Thursday group will have 49 ER,
Canoa Ranch, and Tubac. Through February, the
golf group has had 1160 tee times, which is about
the same as last season.
Now to next season. As most of the golfers are
aware, the courses at Green Valley are having
some difficult times. Therefore, our board decid-
ed to investigate other options.
Norm Millier and I had a meeting with the group
that are now running the city courses and have
established a schedule with them for the 2015-
2016 season. All groups will be playing all 5 city
courses.
In addition, we elected to continue our associa-
tion with Arizona National, Tubac, and the 49 ER.
Since then, we decided to add one more course
which will be Crooked Tree. The board feels that
with this line-up, everyone will have a more enjoy-
able time.
See you next season and have a safe summer.

many more years of trains and fun. Our last run
of the season will be Friday morning April 10th, so
plan on stopping by for one last look before all is

Humbly we thank our hundred plus members,
first for joining and supporting RCW Pickleball,
second for helping new players learn the game
(and how to keep the dang score) and third, for
making people feel welcome to the courts and,
above all, to RCW. A few of our seasoned mem-
bers even augmented the efforts of RCW mainte-
nance in repairing and improving our courts. Nat-
urally, we paid these special volunteers astronom-
ical wages invisible to the naked eye.
In February, we held two small tournaments so
we could develop a feel for what is involved. Af-
ter each, the cast and crew gathered for beverag-
es and brats and argued about how to spell brats.

Square Dancing
We have come to the end of another season, and
we send thanks to all the people who have
helped by getting donuts, acting as angels, set-
ting up equipment, and doing the myriad back-
ground tasks that make the dances possible. Spe-
cial thanks to all you dancers: you are the pro-
gram.
We bid a sad farewell to our Round Dance cuers,
Ronnie and Bonnie Bond, whose family commit-
ments take priority. We will miss them.
Regular dancing ended March 26th, followed by
the Special Square Dance with Dan Preedy on the
29th. When Marshall Flippo returns from Caller
Lab, there will be four bonus dances on April 8, 9,
13, and 15, all at half price admission.
We wish you all a wonderful summer, and hope to
see you again in the fall.

Creating a lovely and decorative item to enhance
your home or RV is easy! Come to the Swedish
Weaving class on April 8 at 10:00 am in the Craft &
Sewing Room (the only class to be held in April), and
create a unique piece for the top of your toilet tank

Swedish Weaving uses monk’s cloth, yarn, and a spe-

items for your enjoyment, or to be given as gifts. All
materials are provided for each class, including a se-
lection of yarn. If you have specific colors in mind to

of washable, 4-ply yarn to complement your col-

the display. Be sure to indicate whether you are
a beginner or intermediate. The cost for each
class is just $8.00. Space is limited, so sign up

Tuesday Off-Topics
The Tuesday Off-Topics Writing Group meets
each week from 10:00 am - noon in Classroom 2.
If you are interested in writing essays or articles,
creating fictional works, or recording your story
for the next generation, put this on your “to do”
list for next year. We have had a successful and
enjoyable season, sharing our stories, opinions,
and/or fictional writings. We have been serious at
times, but often leave with a smile on our face
and a chuckle in our heart from some hilarious
anecdote read and shared that day.
Hesitant to start? A single article is like a single
step. Write one between now and January 1 and
be that one step ahead of the rest. I can be
reached throughout the year and will be happy
to answer any questions. I’m at RCW from Janu-
ary 1 through April 1.
Thanks to all who contributed to our group in
2015.

Activities From To - Tu
Many of the snowbirds are heading North. At Take
Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS), we members do not
take a Holiday. Instead when we leave RCW, we
take with us a travel sheet. Wherever we travel, our
priority is to check in once a week to a TOPS club
(TOPS.org/meetings) to get weighed and receive
support as we take off our excess pounds or keep
off those pounds.
You have time to join our group of TOPS this month
to get started working towards changing your life
style by reducing that weight. We will continue to
have meetings through April and will have weigh-
ins until June.
TOPS is a non-profit organization designed to help
men and women take off pounds sensibly and to
keep off pounds sensibly. The RCW chapter meets
every Monday morning in Classroom 1. Our pro-
gram starts at 7:30 am with weigh-in for members
beginning at 7:00 am and ending at 7:20 am.

Beginning/Continuing Yoga takes the gentle prac-tice deeper while maintaining a beginner’s mind.

There is only one wine tasting Sunday during April,
and that is April 12th in the Rec. Hall starting at 4:00
pm. Just bring one bottle of wine per 2 people and
glasses. The wine can be from anywhere. You
choose! Oh yes, and do bring some yummy snacks
