OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION
.
ONCE THE $100 MILLION REFERENDUM FOR NEW SCHOOLS WAS DEFEATED, I HAVE RECEIVED MANY EMAILS REGARDING OUR CURRENT BOE.  
.
A LONG TIME AGO I DECIDED THAT MY EMAILS WILL NOT BECOME POLITICAL, SO I HAVE AVOIDED WRITING DEALING WITH THESE TYPES OF ISSUES.  IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED I HAVE NO PROBLEM  DISCUSSING THESE ISSUES PRIVATELY WITHOUT PUTTING IT ON EITHER MY WEBSITE OR SENDING THE INFORMATION TO YOU AS A SEPARTATE EMAIL. 
.
THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO SAY IS TO MAKE YOURSELF AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON SO THAT THE NEXT TIME THERE IS ANY VOTE REGARDING THE BOE, YOU WILL AT LEAST BE AWARE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

PICKLEBALL MESSAGE AND MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

Pickleball Club 2023
Lisa Citron

Who opened the door and let that March Lion in? Demonstrating the usual unwanted behavior, March Lion stormed in this past week and kicked Mild Winter to the curb. Now there is an eagerness in the colder air, as we await the arrival of
March Lamb to slam the door shut, and lock out the MADNESS!
No more teasing, it is officially time to BRING IN SPRING.

Spring brings with it a special kind of excitement. Everything feels new again. The same excitement is felt within the Regency Pickleball Community, as we prepare for the new 2023
REGENCY PICKLEBALL SEASON.

The 2023 REGENCY PICKLEBALL SEASON begins on APRIL 3rd with our 2023 OPENING SEASON EVENT, “Pastries and Pickle” from 5:00-7:00 PM.

ALL FROM OUR REGENCY COMMUNITY ARE WELCOME!
CLUB MEMBERS can then get ready for “ROUND ROBIN” play, on THURSDAY, APRIL 13th from 10-12. April is not the only month that will be showering the REGENCY PICKLEBALL
CLUB with special events. Expect the fun to continue in May. Jackie Dwan and Eva Nyman have planned “Skills and Drills” opportunities, as well as more “Pickleball Socials”.

In addition, 2023 PICKLEBALL CLUB MEMBERS can look forward to dates for League and Tournament play organized by, Mark Goldberg, Bobby Harris and Issac Levy. MEMBERS , UPON JOINING, will be able to find all information on THE REGENCY PICKLEBALL CLUB 2023 TEAMREACH.

For its second event of 2023, the EREA will have a modified dim sum tea lunch at Crown Palace Restaurant in Marlboro on Sunday, June 11, at 4PM.

REGENCY SENIOR SOFTBALL 

It’s Time to Swing for the Fences & Join

the Monroe Senior Softball League

 Calling all yesterday’s heroes and heroines. Get ready to dust off your gloves and join the

Monroe Township Senior Softball League

This is an exciting time for all of us. Senior Softball is now a Township approved recreation program, and starting in mid-May and going into August, teams from communities across Monroe will be playing for fun in an Over 55-friendly league. 

Softball Fever – Catch It!

Softball is a great addition to our active lifestyle, and we are off to a great start. We already have over 100 players signed up and still counting. So, for all those men and women who are in, and for all those who are interested, here’s what you need to know:

  • To be eligible, you must be a Monroe resident and be north of 55.
  • Minimum softball skills, such as running to first, throwing, catching, and putting the bat on the ball, are required.
  • This is not an instructional league, so these basic skills are a must.
  • Games will be played at the Monroe recreation fields (a great facility by the way) at 10 AM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
  • Each team will be playing once a week.
  • We know some of you have certain days that both work and don’t work, so having three days gives us the flexibility to schedule games around potential absences.
  • All pre-season and in-season communications to all players will be through the TeamReach app. Once you are registered, please join us on TeamReach using the Group Code – Monroe2023. If you need help getting on TeamReach, please contact George Rothweiler at gfroth19@gmail.com.

We are also currently in the process of lining up both league and team sponsors, so this is going to be a “big deal” for us all. More to follow.

Here’s How to Sign Up

They say nobody is perfect, but if you can play softball, you’re close, so what are you waiting for? Let’s hear from you. No excuses. Just complete the attached application and get ready to re-capture your past glories, make new friends, and have great fun doing it.

Please share this news with your friends and neighbors and thank you for your support.

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

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.

MERRICK (ONE STORY) –  INSIDE THE DOUBLE DOOR PANTRY,                                               OPPOSITE THE POWDER ROOM

ST. TROPEZ – DOWNSTAIRS CLOTHES CLOSET

SAN REMO – CLOSET AS YOU WALK IN FRONT DOOR

MONACO – BASEMENT
MONACO 1 STORY – CLOSET
BRIDLERIDGE –  INSIDE THE DOUBLE DOOR PANTRY, IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM
.
TWO STORY TRADITION – The main shut off water valve is in the coat closet on the main floor.  Also, I have a Tradition with Loft. My main water valve is under the sink in the laundry room
MERRIMACK – INTHE PANTRY
PRESTWICK – MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET RIGHT SIDE WHEN YOU WALK IN AND/OR My one story Prestwick has the water shut off in the front hall closet
.
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.

(rongreta@gmail.com)
