WELCOME HOME IRV AND MARGIE SHATSKY

HOW DO YOU GREET A FRIEND WHEN HE COME'S BACK HOME AFTER SPENDING 6 MONTHS IN FLORIDA? YOU BAKE A CAKE? YOU HAVE WELCOME HOME SIGNS? DO YOU ASK 300 RESIDENTS TO COME OVER AND FORM A RECEPTION LINE? THE ANSWER IS NO!

SO, WHAT DO ALL OF IRV'S FRIENDS (MAYBE 2, POSSIBLY 3, BUT DEFINITELY HE DOESN'T HAVE MORE) DO. THEY GREET HIM BY HAVING HIS HOUSE WRAPPED WITH YELLOW CAUTION TAPE - DO NOT ENTER. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU DRIVING DOWN CRENSHAW WHO SAW THE HOUSE WITH TAPE, IT WAS HIS FRIEND'S WAY OF SAYING, WELCOME HOME IRV AND MARGIE (SORRY MARGIE IT HAD TO BE DONE TO YOU, BUT IT WAS A PACKAGE DEAL).

OF COURSE IT WAS HIS FRIEND IN FLORIDA, NORM GOLDBERG, WHO DESIGNED THE WAY IT SHOULD BE TAPED. WE JUST COULDN'T AFFORD ANOTHER DESIGNER. NORM EVEN INCLUDED A SIGN SINCE HE WAS SO PROUD OF THE WAY IT TURNED OUT.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WEREN'T ABLE TO SEE THE MASTERPIECE CREATED BY HIS FRIENDS, HERE IT IS IN LIVING COLOR.
(BY THE WAY, THESE TYPES OF THINGS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME WITH IRV AND HIS FRIENDS - IT'S JUST THAT WE ARE ALL A BIT CRAZY, WE LOVE EACH OTHER, BUT HAVING FUN IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT).

THE SHATSKY'S ARE HOME (I DOUBT IF THEY WILL EVERY LEAVE AGAIN AFTER THE TAPING)

NEW GOLF RULES

I knew it was going to happen one day. Irv Shatsky has developed a whole set of golf rules for seniors. He was following the traditional PGA golf rules and shooting about 170 (he's a nine hole golfer) and realized that seniors should be entitled to some new rules. He sent his recommendations to the AGA (AGING GOLFERS ASSOCIATION) and hopefully with 50 years they might adopt his rules. Here are some of Irv's rules:

1. If you slice a ball and it goes into the woods, you really didn't mean to do it so just put your ball in the middle of the fairway at a point where you want it to be.

2. If your ball goes in the water, but you forgot your swim suit, we understand. Forgetfullness is a senior problem so keep hitting balls until you get one that doesn't go into the water. However, if you jump into the water with no clothes on, you are penalized 1 stroke.

3. If you hit into a sand trap but forgot your pail and shovel, just take the ball out without a penalty.

4. If you forget where you left your golf cart, you just have 5 minutes to look for it. After 5 minutes, you must call for another golf cart and drop it where you thought you left it.

5. If you are playing golf during the month of your birthday, you get 1 "free" shot without scoring. If your birthday falls out on the day you play golf, you must blow out all the candles on your cake and if you do it with one blow, then you cheat as much as you want. In Irv's case, it would take about a week to blow out all of his candles.

6. If you lose a golf ball but find it the following week, you can deduct a stroke.

7. The "I didn't mean to do that" rule applies to all bad shots. Just keep hitting golf balls without counting the strokes until you hit a shot that you can yell out, "THIS IS THE SHOT I WANTED TO DO!".

8. The bird rule - if a bird goes, TWEET, TWEET, TWEET, while you are swinging, you may swing again without a penalty provided you turn to all the golfers and you say to them "I'M NOT SMARTER THEN A 5TH GRADER."

9. The tree rule - since you are too old to move the tree, just move the ball without a penalty.

10. The alligator rule (Florida residents only) - if you are 50 yards near the water and you claim you can't find the ball, you may ask for the ALLIGATOR RULE to go into effect - which is basically that an alligator ate your ball - again, no penalty.

11. The final score rule - since you have stated in number 8 that you are NOT SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER you can take 10 strokes off your final score and just say that you only took math up to the third grade.

I hope these rules get passed! It might lower my score to 130.

TURNER RICE BILL REGARDING ADULT COMMUNITIES - SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT PASS

A copy of this bill has been sent to the Chairman of our Political Action Committee for his review with the Committee and to Kieve and Charlie. In messages I received from other communities, like Encore, Greenbriar, an emergency meeting is being held at Greenbriar today (Monday) to discuss the legislation and how it would affect adult communities. For your reading pleasure (or displeasure) click on this link for the bill.

Kieve and Charlie sent me the following message:

"As we did in successfully opposing the last bill we will be extremely active with the new legislation and make certain that any bill that adversely affects our community will be vigorously opposed. As always we will keep the community advised."

Regency Hadassah Springs Into Fashion

By Etta Levine


The Regency ballroom was laced in elegance Monday evening, April 30, for our Hadassah dinner and spring fashion show. Following a quick greeting from chapter President Helen Spector, the festivities began.

Nearly 200 of Regency’s fashionistas – and some from neighboring communities – donned their finest duds for what turned out to be an exquisite event filled with fun, food and the latest in fashion.

The room was awash in color – from the flowing, vibrant tablecloths and luscious flower centerpieces, to our own “glam” models decked out in pastels, bright florals, striking geometrics and Puccci prints as they strutted their stuff to the tune of “Pretty Woman” and other hip background music.

Donal Caterers of the Marlboro Jewish Center cooked up a scrumptious three-course dinner and dessert that was as pleasing to the eye as it was to the palate. (Rachael Ray, watch out!) It’s a good thing the dinner preceded the fashion show, so all could indulge without worrying about fitting into the gorgeous outfits yet to hit the runway.

The Sigrid Olsen shop located in the nearby Freehold Raceway Mall sponsored the fashion show. Dalia Sigal, representing the Beverly Hills-based chain store, narrated as the Regency models sashayed from the stage and circled the tables, so all could admire the beautifully designed clothing from the manufacturer’s spring 2007 collection.

And, as is fitting for such an event, door prizes and raffle winnings culminated the festivities.

Kudos to the dedicated committee who helped to make the evening such a success, and thanks to all the ladies who supported the event. Everyone had a great time socializing with neighbors and friends, and we’re looking forward to upcoming Hadassah functions.

Proceeds from the gathering went to the Hadassah Medical Organization (HMO) in Jerusalem.

TWO TICKETS AVAILABLE

2 orchestra tickets are available for Soledad O'Brien at the State Theater next week. If interested, call: Marilyn Jaclin 732-605-1444.

THAT'S IT FOR NOW
