THE REGENCY SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The Regency Scholarship Fund has been accepting donations for the scholarships that we provide to quality students at Monroe High School. It is our way to give back to the community. People can donate for various reasons: Get Well, In Memorium, Sympathy, Congratulations, Happy Birthday, Best Wishes on your Anniversary, etc. Both the recipient and the donor receive written cards acknowledging the donation. So join with us as we try to do some good for the students and the community in which we live. Contact Greta Post, Steve Baliff, Marty Kornfeld, Ron Post, Irv Shatsky, Joyce Cohen or Hollis Borak for more information.
MEN'S CARD GAMES
As Regency gets larger, so does the number of tables needed for the various card games. We sometimes get "displaced" due to some event that might be taking place in the room that we sometimes play in. I know that this has happened to others. Our existing card rooms are not able anymore to accommodate all the different games.
I know that in the past our Lifestyle Director took care of assigning rooms and I think Gail would be amenable to doing this for us. However, it is important for her to know certain things. So, one person from each game should send me the following information:
1. Type of Game - Poker, Gin, Canasta, Bridge (other then the RAMBO group), etc.
2. "Captain of Game" or someone that can be contacted
3. Number of players and names of players
4. Number of tables (note: if 9 players are playing poker, the Men's Card room round table cannot accommodate 9 players because the chairs only can accommodate 8 players at this table).
5. Type of table - round or four sided
6. Time of Game - eg. 7PM - 11PM
7. Day of Week Game is played - MTWT and/or F (list all days that your game is played)
Once I have everyone's information I will send it to Gail so that she could setup some sort of room scheduling. I will ask Gail to post the rooms that each group will play in at the front concierge desk rather then putting it on the doors to the rooms where we have to "hunt" for where our games are to be played.
With the winter approaching many of the poker games lose players when other plays become "snowbirds". "Fill-ins" are always needed. So, if you can play on nights that you aren't playing, let me know which nights and if a game needs a player you can contact me. I'm just doing it for poker. If someone wants to do it for the other games, gin, canasta, etc., let me know.
A REQUESTED SONG FOR MY BLOG
http://regencyemailer2.blogspot.com/
Reluctantly I have put the following song, that was requested by a Regency resident, on my BLOG. Why? After all the song is about Coney Island, that's in BROOKLYN, for you Bronx residents. You see, he claims that the EXCELLENTS, the group that sang this song, came from the BRONX. But then, giving it some thought, I realized that they were really BROOKLYNITES at heart. We have MANY of these BRONXITE "turncoats" living in BROOKLYN and of course we welcome them.

REGENCY WINS SECOND PLACE IN MAYOR’S CUP TABLE TENNIS
The first Mayor's Cup Monroe Township Table Tennis matches were held 9/22. Regency placed second with a 4-2 win-lose record. Greenbriar-Whittenham won the Mayor's Cup with 6 wins. We had many close matches, which we managed to pull out for 3 two sets wins. The last match required a tie breaker third set to gain the second place position.
The Table Tennis player teams were George Bedros/Barry Francini, Bob Cheret/Richard Lam, Mark Greenstein/David Kaminsky, Doug Disalle/ Marty Kamins, Barry Lerner/Barry Panson, and Dennis Schmidt/Alan Wolff. Maybe we can do better next year.
However, we did win the Single Olympics Table Tennis gold medal with a perfect score of three matches of three games each match. The players were Bob Cheret, Richard Lam, and Alan Wolff. The Doubles Olympics Table Tennis team which did very well in the Mayor’s Cup match won only one match of three total games out of the three matches. The player teams were Dennis Schmidt/Charlie Lerman, Harry Borenstein/Barry Lerner, and Doug Disalle/Marty Kamin.

SHOWERING WITH A FRIEND?
Rule #406.78 clearly states that residents may NOT shower with friends in their homes. However, one Regency resident, not knowing that a friend of theirs was in the same shower, gave out with a SCREAM that could be heard throughout Regency.
I know, you want to know what this is all about. Well, the friend turns out to be about a 2 inch frog. You think that the resident would be embarrassed, well this poor frog was so frightened that he hopped or jumped right out of the shower as soon as the Resident SCREAMED.
I haven't the faintest clue how a frog can get into a shower but knowing the husband, I saw him collecting frogs at the shuffleboard courts the other day.
If you are a guest at this home, I would check out the toilets before using it. The wife was seen buying some snakes.
A NOTE OF THANKS FROM SHELLEY SACKAROFF

PARKING PROBLEMS AT REGENCY
A resident would like to remind everyone that parking near mailboxes by friends and/or guests might interfere with the delivery of mail. Try to park so that the mailman has enough room to deliver your mail.
AMERICAN HOME SHIELD
I had mentioned in a previous email that I use AHS for practically every appliance in my home up to and including my garage door openers and ceiling fans. My contract basically says that I pay $55 for each call (besides the annual fee). To me this is a good "deal". However I was just informed by someone who called AHS that they raised the price to $95. This isn't a good "deal" anymore. However, I just called AHS and was told that customers who renew will still be able to get the $55/visit "deal" upon renewal. It looks like they want to "sock it too" all new customers. This price ($95) is for all the Northeast states. The other states it's $60.
Even the Customer Service Rep said that AHS will lose a lot of new customers because of the HUGE increase. No kidding!!
WESTMINSTER SECURITY
Just to let you know that I received my certified letter from Westminster indicating that my service contract will be terminated at the end of my contract period. They also indicated that I will be billed through the effective date of termination. At termination time, I would, if I wanted (and I will), find another vendor in order to obtain the discount that my insurance company offers for having an alarm system that is monitored centrally.
I am not an insurance person or a lawyer BUT keep in mind that if your insurance company is giving you a discount on your insurance because you have an alarm system, it might mean that your alarm system MUST be monitored centrally. If your system isn't monitored centrally, the possibility might exist that you won't be able to collect the insurance unless you can prove you are centrally monitored. Again, I am not sure about this, but I bet someone living in Regency can give us the "official" word. Some residents might not even set an alarm. My suggestion, "DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT BEING SET".
MEN'S GOLF AT THE MEADOWS
In order for me to stay under the limit of emails I send out in a month, I am including the info. regarding today's golf at the Meadows (vs. sending out an additional 82 emails that would put me over the quota for August).
I am happy to announce that today's winner is none other than MARTY KORNFELD. Our esteemed President of the Men's Club, was 5 feet 8 inches from hole #2. We didn't have the tape measure so Jerry Stollar, who played in his foursome (Jerry was 8' 8" away), asked Marty to lie down on the ground and the ball was about where his nose was. (just kidding, we do use a tape measure). He is having some golf year.
As you know, Marty had a hole in one a few months ago. His picture was in the newspaper but unfortunately Marty, with your being closest to hole #2, your doorbell will ring and Ron will present you personally with the prize money. Jerry, your doorbell won't be ringing and I will just shake your hand and tell you, "better luck next time."
Next week there will be 2 Tournaments planned. Closest to hole #8 and a longest putt contest. I will let everyone know more about the longest putt contest.
I will be making up the schedule starting with September 12th, so please let me know ASAP which week(s) you can't play. The schedule this time will be for 5 weeks starting with September 12th. The reason: On SEPTEMBER 19TH THERE WILL BE NO GOLF AT THE MEADOWS. They will be having an outing.
Now for this week's highlights. Goodie is no longer doing his "war dance" just before he tee's off. That is now being done by Les Langer. I'm not sure if it's a "war dance", or if Les is just praying before he hits the ball. Whatever he does, it seems to work so continue with the knee bends, circling the ball with your club, the very, very, slow motion upswing and the follow thru where he looks like he will fall over.
Now as far as Stan (The MAN) Cramer, my cart buddy this week, Stan can certainly hit that golf ball but Stan, I didn't tell you, your driving of the cart requires you to take some lessons. If a cop was on the golf course, Stan would have gotten a minimum of 5 tickets. Speeding, hitting bumps, dangerous curve driving are just some of the things I want to tell you about. I guess Stan is trying out for Nascar racing. You will certainly do well. All kidding aside, he's a great guy who certainly can hit that golf ball. Bob Isaacs rounded out my foursome this week. We all know him as MR SANDMAN and I am happy to report that not once did Bob take out of his golf bag his pail and shovel. However, when we were all done Bob jumped up and down yelling, "I WANT TO PLAY IN THE SAND". Bob, give it a week and your wish will come true many times over. Okay, now for a little note on how I played. I got birdies, holes in one, tremendous drives and when I woke up in the golf cart, reality set in. I was dreaming again.
With about 55 guys in our Wednesday group at the Meadows, I hope that this season so far has been an enjoyable one. I'd like to thank Jerry Scott and Jerry Stollar for the interesting tournaments we have each week. Thank you also Seymour Hyden for being our Treasurer. I noticed that Seymour put in a putting green in his backyard. I wonder who paid for this? Just kidding Seymour. We will finish out the season with the last Wednesday in October.
As silly as it might sound, by mid to late November I would have to know how many of you would want to play next year. As you know, I have to sign a contract with the Meadows for the Regency group in order to maintain our Wednesday tee times. So please let me know. Thanks again
THAT'S IT FOR NOW
