Lakes residents and their guests are invited to join the Out to Lunch Bunch on Wednesday, April 10 at the food hall Tempe Eats.
Tempe Eats is like a food court at the mall, but elevated. There are eight restaurants which are described below:
When guests walk in, they’re greeted by a concierge who seats them, explains the ordering process and is on hand to help or answer any questions.
The Tempe Eats menus and ordering are accessible through a QR placed at each table or bar seat. Menu items from any of the restaurants or bars can be added to one tab from your seat. This differs from most food halls – there's no getting up to wait in line at one spot, pay and then move on to the next, so that solves the problem of having to separate from your friends.
For those not wanting to read on their phone, an island of menu cards sits near the entry for guests to peruse. Please make reservations at the Clubhouse no later than Monday, April 8. Let us know if you need a ride, as we will carpool from the Clubhouse at 11:30 AM for a 12:00 luncheon. Tempe Eats is located at 85 E. Southern Avenue, Tempe at the southeast corner of Mill and Southern.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennie Cohagen at 602-451-6177 or April Sapinski 602-430-4413. The Out To Lunch Bunch meets the second Wednesday of the month from September through May.
Lakes residents are invited to attend the Lakes Book Club on Thursday, April 18 at 7 PM at the Lakes Clubhouse. All are welcome to attend the discussion even if you have not read the book.
Patsy Policar will lead a discussion of A Woman of Intelligence by Karen Tanabe. Please note this is a a change in the schedule. We will discuss ER Nurses at the May 16 meeting.
In A Woman of Intelligence, a man from her past has become a high-level Soviet spy, but no one has been able to enter his circle. Enter Katharina, the perfect woman for the job.
Suggestions for the 2024-2025 Lakes Book Club may be sent to Book Club coordinator Patsy Policar. Please include the title, author and a brief description of the book.

We now have two opportunities for Lakes residents to play mah jongg upstairs at the clubhouse: Tuesday afternoon from 1 to 3 PM and Friday morning from 9 to 11 AM. LynnAnn Wojciechowicz is in charge of the Tuesday afternoon group. Jane Toaspern is in charge of the Friday morning group.
We must be notified by 8 PM the night before you wish to play in order for us to accommodate you. Contact LynnAnn for Tuesday by text: 602-769-5088 or email: lynnannw@gmail.com. Contact Jane for Friday by text 602-403-8620 or email: Janetoaspern@icloud.com.
LynnAnn currently has 13 Lakes residents on the Tuesday list. We have room for 16 players. This means we have room for 3 more Lakes residents to play with us. We also have a list of non-residents who have been playing with us. That list is now closed to new players as we currently have more than we can accommodate. This may change as people leave for summer travels. One reason we need to know ahead of time who plans to play is so we can let non-residents know if they have a space.
Jane's group is just getting started, so she welcomes Lakes residents and non-residents who wish to play. LynnAnn welcomes all levels, including beginners. We will be using the 2023 National Mah Jongg League card until April 1. We do have a 2023 card you can borrow to use at the Lakes if you are interested.
LynnAnn is currently taking orders for the 2024 National Mah Jongg League card. The cost $15 whether you order from LynnAnn or directly from the National Mah Jongg League.
Just phone or text LynnAnn (602-769-5088) or email her: lynnannw@gmail.com so we can plan for you.
