relationships with our children, our grandchildren, our spouses; issues of health, mortality, etc. The number one rule for the group is
confidentiality….
“WHAT IS SAID IN THE GROUP STAYS IN THE GROUP AND NEVER LEAVES THE ROOM” Membership is limited, and is presently full.

Pickleball
Mondays, beginning Oct 1
3:00pm – 5:00pm
Veterans Community Park
(1895 Veterans Park Drive, Naples, FL)
Our second season of Pickleball will soon commence!!!!!!!!!!. We
have incorporated some changes that we believe will enhance our
Pickleball experience. First, we are excited about the newly
constructed dedicated Pickleball Courts at Veteran’s Park. We will
no longer have to pickup, put up, take down and return Pickleball
nets. Another new change is that we will play at one consistent
time; 3:00 – 5:00 on Monday afternoon. Finally, we will be reserving
the Pickleball courts for MCA members so we won’t have to worry
about the availability of courts every Monday. These changes should
make our weekly Pickleball games even more enjoyable!!!!!
Come join and learn the game.

Enjoy eating? Enjoy movies? Enjoy an energetic discussion? Join us for our MCA Pot Luck Movie
Discussion Group. Here is how it works. Each month, the host couple chooses a movie for everyone to see at their leisure. Then, they all meet at the host couple’s house
for a good meal and an even better discussion about the movie. Typically, the host provides the main course and
others bring appetizers, desserts and, of course wine. There are, however, no rules, so the process will evolve
as the groups come together.
There will be a 5 couple limit to each group.
