ISRAELI AMERICAN CLUB – PURIM PARTY – MARCH 9TH

RESIDENT FOUND GLOVE

Found, one glove. It is on the sidewalk between 54 and 56 Beth Page Drive. If it’s still there by Mon. it will be taken to the lost and found at the clubhouse.

A simple way to prevent Non-Residents from going to the Residents’ Gates

NOTE:  A RESIDENT SENT ME THIS EMAIL AND IT CERTAINLY DOES HAPPEN A LOT.  THE GPS TO MY HOME SENDS VISITORS TO THE MT MILLS GATE AND THEY CALL ME TO ASK HOW TO GET INTO REGENCY

I am sure that at one time or another all of us have been delayed in going through one of our Residents’ Gates by either a vendor or a guest who put the Resident’s address into their GPS only to be directed to the closest (Residents’) gate.

The simplest way to prevent that is for the Regency Residents to tell their guest or vendor to enter the street address of the CLUBHOUSE; 61 Country Club Drive, into their GPS.

This will ensure that these folks will then arrive at our MAIN GATE entrance on Rt522.

UPDATE BY OUR NEWSMAN, STEVE WILLIAMS, REGARDING MT MILLS ROAD 

.

I spoke to the township engineer Friday and this is the update.
All property needed to be purchased for the expansion of Mounts Mill Road and the light on Englishtown Road has been completed.

The designs for the road improvement were completed over a year ago. Bids will be going out and once a contractor has been approved the road construction will start.  No time was given for the start of the construction but if everything works out construction could start by the summertime. This is a major improvement that will not be completed in a month but IF everything works out the project could be completed during the coming winter

Taiji – Regency at Monroe Chinese Club

The Regency at Monroe Chinese Club is proud to offer a course on Taiji. Taiji, also known as Tai Chi, is an ancient Chinese martial art practiced for health benefits, defense training, and meditation. 

There is growing evidence of health benefits in
practicing Taiji. In this course, we will introduce the basics of Taiji, and teach you the Yang Style Simplified 24 Form, which is the most practiced Taiji form set in the world.

The class is held every Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30 pm at the Regency at Monroe Clubhouse (61 Country Club Drive, Monroe, NJ 08831) in the Fitness Room (indoor pool level). We will like to keep the class size to 15-20 people. So, pre-registration if you know you are interested.  Send an email to the below contact.

The class is taught by an experienced teacher who has taught Taiji in Community Senior Centers and Community College settings (see short bio below).

It is open, and everyone is welcome. The class is conducted in English, if the class is diverse.
(Teacher is well versed in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.)

The course is expected to last for 25 weeks. The fee for all 25 sessions is $50.
The class is FREE for the first two introductory sessions. Fee will be collected in the third session.
Start date: January 19, 2023 2:30 – 3:30 pm. Thursday

Contact: Gerald Chu (732) 850-1073
gerald.chu@gmail.com

Teacher: Don Tow (曹赞文) has been teaching Taiji since 2004. The places that he has taught include the Chinese Community Center in Somerset, the Senior Citizens Center in East Brunswick, Raritan Computer in Somerset, Brookdale Community
College in Lincroft, Monmouth Fidelity Chinese School in Marlboro, Monmouth Medical
Center in Long Branch, and Jersey Shore Chinese School in Holmdel. 

Don is a physicist by training, with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of
California at Berkeley.

A MESSAGE FROM MARIE TOMASULO RE:  JULIET LUNCHEONS

Our Holiday Juliets was a very successful event. I thank you so much for all your help. Because of so many in our community getting sick and many away until spring, I would like to let everyone know that I will resume Juliet luncheons in the Spring (hoping everything settles down). Looking forward to seeing everyone and everything back to normal. 

Sincerely,

Marie Tomasulo

REGENCY EREA (ETHNIC RESTAURANT EAT AROUND) TO RESUME  – AFTER TEN MONTH HIATUS 

              BY MARTY FELDMAN
 
The EREA is one of the longest running clubs here at Regency, having run more than 60 dinners in its two iterations, as an in-home dinner and as an in-restaurant ethnic eating experience. The planned dinners for 2022 never came to be due to my having a medical problem. I’m happy to say that I am now in a position to resume planning and carrying on the EREA dinners. The EREA does not require a membership, no dues, no commitment other than to the dinners you wish to attend. It is open to singles and couples living here at Regency and a good way for new and old friends to meet.
 
We plan a preset, Price fixed menu, at different ethnic restaurants in the area giving both old and new friends to meet for dinner, share some wine or soft drink, definitely a few laughs and perhaps an introduction to a new cuisine they might not have tried on their own.
 
Our re-entry will occur on Friday, February 17th for a Filippino buffet dinner which will give you a good introduction to Filippino cuisine with 8-9 appetizers, entrees, and dessert. 
 
Filippino cuisine is in general NOT SPICY HOT, BUT SPICED AND FLAVORFUL. The cuisine is composed of foods from a large number of different linguistic groups coming from the Philippine Archipelago making up that group of islands. There will be found distinct influences in Filippino cuisine from the Spanish, Chinese, Indian and Japanese occupations and migration. Cooking and eating in the Philippines has traditionally been an informal and communal affair centered around the family kitchen. Food tends to be served all at once and not in courses.
 
Unfortunately, although I have met with the restaurant management, worked out the dinner’s timing and chosen a menu I have not been given a price for the dinner; the restaurant owner returned to Manila on vacation before he could give me what’s needed. In any event, if you are interested in attending this dinner, on Friday, February 17th. you should give me a call so that I can add your name to our list as seating is limited and it is first come first served.

  Winter Regency Reporter Delivery

.

The policy of the Regency Reporter Editorial Board is not to stop delivery to residents who are away for the winter. There are too many people going away and we feel that it’s unfair to ask our volunteer delivery staff to have to “know” who does not want their paper while they are away for the winter. The Editorial Board of the Regency Reporter kindly requests that residents ask a neighbor to remove and recycle their papers while they are away.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Editorial Board of the Regency Reporter

WHERE YOUR WATER SHUT OFF VALVE FOR YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE IS LOCATED (NO EXPIRATION)

PLEASE WRITE ME WHERE YOUR WATER SHUTOFF VALVE FOR YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE IS LOCATED AND WHAT HOUSE YOU LIVE IN

PRESWICK WITH A LOFT – DOWNSTAIRS DOUBLE CLOSET ALSO, UNDER SLOP SINK.

TURNBERRY WITH A BASEMENT – SHUT OFF VALVE IS IN BASEMENT
.

BAYHILL LEXINGTON WITH A LOFT THE SHUTOFF VALVE IS IN THE CLOSET OPPOSITE THE DOOR TO THE LAUNDRY ROOM. THE SHUTOFF FOR THE WATER HOSE CONNECTION STICKING OUT OF THE WALL INTO THE GARAGE IS INSIDE THE CLOSET DEDICATED TO THE HOT WATER HEATER.  CHECK THE WATER COMING OUT SINCE SOMEONE HAD HOT WATER COMING OUT OF THE CONNECTION IN THE GARAGE.  THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE HOT WATER LINE VS THE COLD WATER LINE.

The shutoff for the other outdoor hose connection is, unfortunately, behind the wall of the pantry/kitchen closet next to the refrigerator.  There is a small door in the back of the closet/pantry that when opened – not obvious how to open the door but not hard to do once located – that allows a person who is (a) either a contortionist or (b)  or has very long arms and very strong wrists to reach and turn the usually frozen-in-place, cheap plastic handled, valve stem as needed twice a year.

WHO TO CONTACT WHEN YOU WANT TO JOIN A CLUB? (NO EXPIRATION)
.

Yes, these are very difficult times especially since many, if not all, the clubs we have at Regency are in hibernation.  

I have added many new residents who do want to get involved with some of these clubs..  I have no clue who, at Regency, should be contacted if someone wants to join a club.  

Please send me your name, telephone number and email address so that I could post the information on my website so new residents can possibly join your club.
