Residents at The Villages, a community for adults over 55, frequent the Club House for recreation and entertainment. They gather for impromptu socializing in the traditionally furnished lounge, attend club meetings or play cards (bridge, poker and Mahjong are popular). The c0-ed and single-sex clubs focus on a variety of pursuits, from enjoying live theater to stitchery or fund-raising for charities. During warm weather, residents can swim in an outdoor pool or watch from a shaded picnic table. In addition to outdoor bocce ball courts, the Club House has an indoor gym and ceramics room with a kiln.
