At the Thanksgiving potluck supper last night, Club Regency did a surprise honorarium for past resident Pat Myers. Pat has served Regency Cove for decades, visiting homebound, taking folks for rides to the store or just around the park. In more recent years, he has jazzed up his golf cart to be the honorary mobile boom box for Gasparilla parades, and July 4th parties. Pat left the park earlier this year to another facility but he said that he daily remembers his friends and colleagues back here in Regency Cove.
After the ceremony, Pat donated the original painting of Regency Cove by resident artist Doris Long. Pat generously paid for reproductions to be printed up for residents to buy, as a donation to Pat's charitable cause (St Vincent Society)
More than 160 members and residents attended this sit down dinner of roasted turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and a roll and butter. The dinner was FREE for members. (You don't get this anywhere else, folks!)
