REGAL POINTE NEWSLETTER Volume 3, Issue 9 March 3, 2010

Shelley Topf, Newsletter Editor [email protected]

Note from Social Committee:

I would like to thank all the people who have hosted the

last few events. They were so much fun! The Soup

Cook off was exciting, thanks to the “Regal Pointe

Rental Nation”. They had a total of 15 soups to try. They

had prizes for 1st, 2

nd, and 3

rd. Hope to see you at the

Chili Cook off on March 10 at 5:30 PM. A sign up sheet

will be posted asking you what you can bring.

I would like to thank everyone who came to the dance.

Deb was excellent as always. She will be singing at the

Farewell Dinner on March 13 at 6:00 PM. Tickets are $5

per person and I will be selling them at all upcoming

events or just email me and I will drop them off to you.

You need to sign up to bring an appetizer or dessert.

Don’t forget the community yard sale on March 13 from

8:00- 1:00 PM.

A big thank you goes to Georgia for doing a great job

last month at Card Bingo. The next one planned is

March 17th at 7 PM. We will play the same amount of

games. We will be selling ice cream at intermission. If

interested in helping me, please let me know.

We are having problems with the trash can. People are

putting glass bottles in there. If you host an event,

please remember to take the trash with you. If you leave

and people are still there, ask them to take any trash

with them. We do not want anyone else to get hurt.

Thanks,

Sue

Sunshine Fund

We will be having another yard sale on March 13 from 8

AM to noon. If you have anything to donate please let

Sue know.

Thanks!

Community Website

Joan Leah has developed a community web site

which can be used to host information about our

community from social events to business meeting

information. This site is no cost to the community.

She has reached out to Joe Golden who has agreed

to share any common information from Osprey such

as Deer Creek Events. The web address is:

http://regalpointeatdeercreek.yolasite.com/

Please send any input/ideas directly to Joan. Her

email address is [email protected]

Regal Pointe Health Club We're up and running with the Health Club. We

meet each Thurs morning at 9:30 in our clubhouse.

We welcome healthy tips from anyone who would

like to be a part of our club. Come join us to see

what's happening - you just might like it!!

Last Thursday, Jerry Miller who talked about gout.

We had 20+ in attendance and were given some

valuable information. Some men attended and they

seem to enjoy it. Sorry some of you could not be

present.

We will NOT have a meeting this Thurs. morning

(3/4) because of the HO meeting at 10:00.

Plan to attend on the 11th. Kathy Garchinsky will

be talking about the vegetarian diet. We look

forward to hearing about this, as many of us are

very interested in the vegetarian way of eating.

The focus of this group is to discuss ways to live a

healthier lifestyle (exercise, better eating habits,

losing weight, etc). This program will be class

participation with everyone sharing their

experiences.

I look forward to seeing everybody!!

Thanks,

Gerrie Samples

Georgia and Howard Harris & Joan and Bob Leah

Pool Committee Please remember to cover the pool at night when you

leave. The heater is on so we need to keep the

cover on at night!!

We replaced 2 umbrellas this summer. Please

remember to close them when you leave. Deer Creek

is not going to keep replacing them. They will remove

them like they did in other communities.

Regal Eagles The Regal Eagles have tee time on Mondays starting

at 10 AM. League play is $30 for non-members. We

play every Monday at 10 AM, which is the time for the

1st Tee for the Regal Eagles. We meet in the parking

lot between 9:30 and 9:45 to get signed in and have

the first group ready to go at 10 AM.

We pick up the sign up sheet, which is in our

clubhouse, on Saturday night as we have to turn it in

to the Pro Shop on Sunday. Make sure you sign up

in plenty of time for us to gather the sheet!! See you

on Mondays!!

Missing DVDs from the clubhouse One of our neighbors has been gracious enough to

put some new DVDs in our clubhouse for us to

borrow and RETURN!! There are presently about 50

DVDs that have not been returned to our library so

others can enjoy the movie. Please be more

considerate and return the DVDs as soon as you are

done viewing them.

Thank you!


Recycle and Be Green Since Regal Pointe is no longer saving pop cans under

the stairway of the Clubhouse, we need to let people know

that behind the Main Clubhouse there is a large “cage”

where aluminum cans are collected. However, we are still

collecting pop can tabs in our dining room on top of the ice

maker. We collected the pop can tabs and brought them

to McDonalds for the Ronald McDonald House. Toni

Miner, who is the manager of the McDonald’s across from

the Haines City Walmart, was not there but the gal who

took them made a note for Toni.

To recycle our newspapers, there is a large red dumpster

behind the Main Clubhouse for drop off. Please do not

put them in plastic or brown paper bag when you place

them in that dumpster

.

Scrapbook We are still looking for someone to take over the scrap

book from Evelyn McClellan. She is more than willing to

assist the new person in getting started with her

willingness to help and a ready smile!! Evelyn has done a

beautiful job with the books and we have so many great

memories of our events captured on paper!! We really

need to get going in finding a replacement! C’mon folks,

we have some awesome crafty type people out

there….put together a committee so it isn’t just one

person’s responsibility!

Regal Pointe Computer Class The Computer Club meeting will take place on the 3

Thursday of the month through April, 2010. It will be from

would like to see covered and are also looking for

speakers with skills on key topics such as Twitter, Face

Book, etc. Please send any ideas to Joan Leah at

[email protected]. See you there!!

Creative Cards Workshop Join your Deer Creek neighbors for several hours of

creative fun. Every Tuesday at 1:00 PM in the Regal

Regal Pointe Riders FMCA Club News The next club meeting will be in the clubhouse on March

12 at 7 PM. Shelley Topf was able to secure a speaker

from Fantasy RV Tours. We have asked her to speak on

why go with a tour versus going on your own, how a tour

is conducted, example of an Alaskan tour and time for

questions. Fantasy RV tours will be having a free wine

tasting after the talk. If you are interested in the speaker,

but not a member of the club, you are more than welcome

to join us!

The club went out to dinner at the Buca di Beppo Italian

Restaurant at the Florida Mall. We had a large number of

members attend. All enjoyed the meal and the

camaraderie amongst the group was apparent!!

Several members of the club are going to Passport

America 1st Annual Fun Rally. The web page is

http://www.passportamerica.com/rallies . You can register

online or by phone. The number is 1-800-681-6810 and

ask for Mary. There is only dry camping available at this

point. Please let Nick De Monte, Sue Barlow or Shelley

Topf know if you are going, as we will have a social one

afternoon and want to prepare for the right number. Nick

De Monte will display the club banner at his coach.

Plans are being made to go to the Sleuths Dinner Theatre

in Orlando near Universal Studios in April. More

information about the Sleuths Mystery Dinner Show will be

forthcoming.

Collage of Soup Cookoff

Thanks to Sue and Phil Eggers for the pictures from the Regal Pointe Rental Nations potluck Soup Cookoff!!

Potato Soup Recipe

Cook small cubed peeled potatoes in just enough chicken broth to cover the potatoes. Add salt to potatoes while

cooking. While the potatoes are cooking, dice a small amount of onions and celery. The amount depends on the

number of potatoes you are cooking, your call. Cook the onions and celery in a quarter to one half cup of butter. Cook

until tender but not brown. When potatoes are cooked, put about one half of the potatoes with the broth into blender.

Add cooked onions and celery, blend until smooth. Add half and half until you reach desired consistency. Remove

from blender, add remaining cooked potatoes. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh chives.

Chicken Vegetable Chowder 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped 1 large onion ¼ cup butter 2 cans cream of potato soup 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 large can chicken broth 2 cans Mexican style corn 1 to 2 quarts half and half 2 cans chopped green chiles 1 – two pound box Velvetta cheese

Saute onion and mushrooms in butter. Combine all ingredients except half and half and heat slowly until cheese is melted. (I cut cheese in small pieces.) Add half and half after heated. Garnish with grated cheese.
