Clubs are ok. Our pinochle group is about 40 in Summer and extends to about 50 or so in Winter. Other clubs are about the same.

Yes, I leave at 8 am for 9 am Mass at St. Timothy Catholic Community. The church is quite crowded in Winter and since I can't stand for a full service due to back and leg medical problems, I leave home at 8 am to be sure of parking and a seat. There is standing room only at 9 and 11 am Masses and they add a 12:45 Mass in November, December, January and February.

I personally am not otherwise bothered by the beefing up of numbers in Winter. I just resent hearing how unfair it is for snowbirds who have to pay for trash, etc. when they are not here. We all make choices and that's the price of a free choice.
