Christmas Caroling

The absolutely best time of the year in Regency Cove is the night we dress up warmly, pile up onto golf carts, and drive the boulevards singing carols along the way. The purpose is to provide some holiday cheer to the shut-ins in the park, but truely, the holiday spirit begins with your little cluster of songsters in your cart, and the neighboring carts, and the residents cheering us along the way, from the apartment balconies to the boulevards. The cheering residents, in the past, have ducked thru houses on their streets, to catch up with us again, on the next boulevard.

This is truely the most joyous Regency Cove annual activity. Ladies are baking cookies for gifts to the shut-ins. If you wish to contribute, please deliver them to Mary Willsey or Alice Disharoon by Monday morning.

If you care to join in the caroling, please be at the hall before 6:00pm Monday. There is a great Christmas party that follows this event with a gift exchange (I think Mary calls it Dirty Santa). Bring a wrapped gift with a value of between $2-$5, also bring a snack to share. The gift exchange, or should I say "gift war" begins after the caroling is over. Bring your own beverage. This party is a hoot! Everyone is welcome, and everyone has a great time!
Other than the Christmas Day Church service, this is the last official Regency Cove party of the Christmas Season.

On December 27, the decorations in the hall will have to come down. We had a great group helping us when they went up, we only ask for the same volunteers to come help us take them down and pack it up for another year. Check your Outlook for time.

Hope to see you all at the New Years Day Party celebration. Tickets are available for $5, see Guy Hislop, or ask any Club Regency Board member, or the office.

Merry Christmas, God Bless Us, Everyone!

(Living in Paradise is going up north for Christmas. Give me a week or so to relax. Catch up with you in the new year.)

PS Please keep an eye on your neighbors. This can be a very lonely time of the year for some folks. A little bit of attention can go a long way, and make a huge difference in someone's life.
