Trilogy Art Club (TAC) consists of a group of individuals who are interested in promoting development of fine arts; exposing participants to the nuances of various mediums and giving them the opportunity to create and share their own designs. We are a learning community where anyone can take or teach a class, and it specifically focuses on “creators and makers.” Members can share their time and talents for mutual enjoyment of the arts in a friendly, relaxed learning environment at very low cost.
In addition to promoting enjoyment of the arts and encouraging community involvement, the club features live lessons provided by member artists and outside instructors. Classes spark student creativity and offer students opportunities to share artwork with peers and provide feedback.
It’s all about community! Join us Wednesdays at 3:00pm (5:00pm if temperatures are in the 90’s or higher) at the Bocce Ball park on Polo Club Drive. Whether you have never played bocce ball before or you’ve had many years of experience, you’ll fit right in with the group. Bocce is played with eight large balls and one smaller target or object ball called a pallino. Players toss their team’s large ball with the goal to get closest to the pallino for scoring. This game is easy and fun for all!
“The exceptional democratic spirit of the game of Bocce is the basis on which its deeply peaceful character is founded. It is often the beginning of lasting friendships.”
– US Bocce Federation
Did you know the area in the brain used in playing bridge stimulates the immune system? Researchers suggest that is because players must use memory, visualization and sequencing. Bridge is more than just a card game!
It takes two to make a winning hand, so partner with a friend or make a new one and show off your card skills in Bridge. Bridge is a four-player trick taking card game where the players bid for a trump suit in auction before each hand. It’s thought provoking, fun, and a great way to get to know your fellow Members. Join us in Four Suits every Friday at 1:30pm.
The turn reaches you and there’s a choice to be made: pull the first card from the deck or take the entire discard pile? The heat is on; what’s the right choice? Each Member is on the edge of their seats hoping you don’t get the card they need! Will your strategy bring you the winning hand?
Canasta is a card game in the rummy family of games. Although many variations exist, we prefer to play with four or more participants. Players attempt to make melds of seven cards of the same rank and “go out” by playing all cards in their hand. We meet every Wednesday at 1:30pm and Fridays at 9:30am in Four Suits. Grab your friends and join the fun!
Cycling is a great exercise and is almost guaranteed to boost your mood.

Panguingue (pronounced pan-ginn-geh), also known as Pan, is a Rummy-type game for two to fifteen players. It is best for six to eight.

Everyone has a story. Would you like to tell yours in a way that’s exciting and compelling? Then join The Writers Club. Whether your story is fiction or a memoir you just want to share with your family, our club is here to help you express yourself. And most importantly, for all of us to receive the critical feedback every writer needs, in a positive and supportive atmosphere. We’ll meet every couple of weeks to share our writing with the group. In the process, we’ll discuss structure, plot, character development, pacing, dialogue, style, protagonist/antagonist, and tension, as well as how to self-publish, if that’s a route you choose to go.

We vote for the books to be read when our next season begins.
What do you get when you cross badminton, tennis and ping pong? That’s right, Pickleball! Pickleball was created with one thing in mind: FUN. It was designed to be easy to learn and play whether you’re five, eighty-five or somewhere in between. The rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. One of the fastest growing sports in America can be played right here at Trilogy at The Polo Club.
This is for Trilogy Members to meet and play with different players. All tennis players are welcome, regardless of skill or experience! Both dedicated tennis courts are reserved during this time. The hybrid court remains available for either tennis or pickleball. We hope to see you on the courts!
A woman knows that one of the best things she can do for her health is to nurture relationships with her girlfriends. These little sisterhoods we come across throughout our life experiences are not to be taken for granted. The WOW (Women of Wisdom) Social Club provides the right environment to create bonds with other women who share our same interests. Finding other women who are going through similar situations as us and have the same interests is good for our well-being.
