Hello Residents,

It’s November and the year is almost over. During this month we will celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s the time we focus on blessings and family. We thank each and every one of you for being a member of the Regency family. We are blessed you chose to live here with us. We hope that we make you happy each and every day.

We look forward to all the activities and events that are planned this month. The weather is changing, so please remember to bundle up and stay warm!

If there are any ideas for activities or events please see me or Donna D. We also would like your opinion on recipes and different menu items, so please see Veronica or myself with any food related suggestions.

Please remember the ‘Friends Make the Best Neighbors’ program to win a bonus for referrals.

As always, I am blessed to be a part of Regency.
