CLASSIC ART ALERT

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
– Edgar Degas

The Residents took a trip to the Nassau County Museum of Art to see our Gilded Age exhibition.

The residents look very regal walking through the museum admiring the walls of the art displayed from 1870-1914. How beautiful are they? And we are talking about our residents. The Regency will be hosting Fine Arts Fridays with Neil. More details to come.

OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB

"I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them."
– Emma Thompson

George O'Donnell, the author of Manhattan Manhunt, stopped in for a 30 person Book Club meeting in our theater. "I loved it and can't wait to run my book club meeting on February 29th", Resident, Stanley Hirsh shared.

In 2011, Stanley wrote a book in his 80’s, named Memoirs of a Geriatric Ski Bum. More details to come regarding his event. George O’Donnell is a distant constant of our Recreation Director, Annemarie Hegarty, and jumped on the fact The Regency was highlighting local authors including our resident authors: Patricia Schof -2/22 and Stanley Hirsch-2/29. George spent the afternoon talking about his book that tells the behind-the-scenes story of the intense police manhunt for international jewel thieves juxtaposed to the inner workings of the elusive crime organization. Led by Major Case Squad Detective Bobby Walsh, the police are on the hunt for Bardyllis “the Bard” Leka, the ringleader behind the ever-mounting heists. The chase goes on for months with near misses and harrowing escapes until the K-9 capture of accomplices leads to big break in the case. Will the heists finally stop? Will the Bard be captured by the police or taken out by his own men?

Manhattan Manhunt is a fictional novel inspired by a real-life arrest. In April 1993, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PAPD) Police Officer George O’Donnell and his K-9 partner, Billon, arrested three international jewel thieves.

SNOW DAY ALERT

"If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life but still the same amount of snow."
- Anonymous

The snow didn't stop our residents enjoying a little winter fun.

Resident, Ellen Frank asked the Chef for a carrot! Yes, a raw carrot! Ellen grabbed the carrot and her friend Resident, Jane Sanderson, and went outside on this snowy day. “Slowly and surely, we built a snowman. The staff watched closely and helped as I’m sure they were nervous.”, Ellen shared. By the time, we took a photo the snowman was slowly melting, however, we were able to capture two friends that tapped into their childhood in this beautiful picture! Thanks ladies for making us laugh. A breathe of fresh air and reminder that we are all still young at heart!

BEADS FLYING ALERT

"Mardi Gras is the love of life. It is the harmonic convergence of our food, our music, our creativity, our eccentricity, our neighborhoods, and our joy of living. All at once."
- Chris Rose

Yesterday, The Regency was electrified during our festive Mardi Gras Celebration. Delicious homemade beignets hit the spot compliments of Chef Pat.

Annmarie, our Recreation Director, was dressed in her purple sequin outfit and was ready for Bourbon Street. ” I loved how everyone was dressed up and wore beautiful masks, too!”, Resident Karen Ackerman shared. Some say, dancing touches the soul. Our souls were touched and our feet danced the afternoon away.
