Calling all new members and existing members ! Do you like to write, interview members, or just jot down notes and have someone else write the article or story. Or maybe just be a reporter and comment on activities that occurred that month. Whatever it is, Frenchman’s Creek Life NEEDS YOU! We are a monthly publication written by, for and about the members– no Administration news, the Marketing department is

our overseer– but we are on “our own” to a degree. And our committee meetings are fun! - hear the latest news and get food for the brain – think of what to write about in each issue. Please contact Bobbe Wiener, editor, at babasouth@aol.com, or co-editor Mimi Bergel at mjbergel@aol.com if you would like to keep an active mind and have fun at the same time.

A DAY OF JOY for HERB GLATT and SANDY SALZ At the Walker Cup, May 9, 2021.

The Walker Cup is a competition between amateur men’s teams from the United States and the British Isles , held biennially since 1922 on sites alternating between the United States and Britain . The cup is named for George H. Walker, a president of the United States Golf As- sociation (USGA) in the 1920s and a primary organizer of the event, who happens to be the great grandfather of President Bush. Contests consist of four 18-hole foursome (partners taking alternate shots) matches and eight 18-hole singles matches on each of two days, with one point awarded to the winning side in each match. Teams of eight players, two alternates, and a captain are selected by the USGA and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews .

This year, the Cup was held close to home at the Seminole Golf Course in Juno Beach. Sandy was lucky to get two tickets of a literally 3 minute internet sale. The men had a fabulous, thrilling day with the drinks and lunch part of the ticket and watching the young amateurs, perhaps promising pros, of the future. A number of Pros past and present have waited to go professional if the Cup was being played right before they committed. The ages of the men range from 18-22 and then 28-30. The length of the holes, the ever changing ocean winds, the sand dunes and their heights plus the elevation of some greens, the lightening fast greens, and a mostly tight grass and sandy course make Seminole very challenging. It was fierce competition, but the fans were cordial, rooting for the player of a great shot, and mostly noted was how unbelievable the players got out of the sand traps. Talking to Herb and Sandy, you could hear in their voice, and the replay of the day, that it was truly a day of joy with how much they enjoyed the gracious staff of Seminole and just being there.

BOBBE WIENER is very proud of her grandchildren, Ben Wiener and Eliza Wiener. Ben graduated Emory University Summa Cum Laude in Economics and Eliza will graduate her high school in Allentown, Pennsylvania as Valedictorian. Eliza will be attending The University of Chicago in the fall and Ben will stay in Atlanta, working for McKinsey and Co. Global management and consulting. SUNNY LEHRHOFF was so excited to be able to attend the wedding of her grandson (number 12 of 13 and 2nd last to be married), Zach Bindler to Melanie Left in Chicago, Illinois. The wedding was May 15, 2021 and they were attended by 3 uncles and their wives, his sister and her fiancé, many friends from high school and college and the rest of a loving family totaling 51 guests, the total allowed during this time of COVID. Zach is in finance.

GLORA SLASS recently was in a car accident when sitting in a parking space outside Nordstrom’s in the mall. A car careened into her thinking her space was the road! The officer sat with her the entire time until all was taken care of. Below is a letter she would like to share with us.

NEXT MONTH IS OUR LAST ISSUE FOR THE SUMMER, SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR MEMBERS, PLEASE CONTACT ONE OF OUR CORRESPONDENTS OR THE MARKETING OFFICE.

Frenchman’s Creek Volunteer Match Program Thanks You! Thanks to our VMP volunteers and you, we have driven over 3000 pounds of donated food down to the Palm Beach County Food Bank this season. The FC Volunteer Match Program (now in its fifth year) was “virtual” during Covid-19. We produced vid- eos for schools instead of visiting schools. We helped students on-line instead of in their classrooms. We donated clothing to

the Lord’s Place van parked in our sales office. Covid-19 challenged the Volunteer Match Program to think creatively, and we did. We will always find an opportunity for you in the Volunteer Match Program. Leave your name with the Marketing Office at 561-784-6504 or marketingdept@frenchmanscreek.com . Most important: Stay healthy! by Nancy Berkley

THE DOG PARK RENOVATIONS

Thanks to Steve Thompson and Scotty of the POA, the dog park has been given a face lift. Stop by and take a look at the New and Improved Dog Park! Enjoy the New Landscaping. And view the new and improved pet owner area where we understand every afternoon is a party!

Since we are a publication for and by the members, I am sure you would want to join our staff in thanking the Medical Advisory Committee for keeping us healthy and safe, and to our administration and staff, under the guidance of Mr. Goswami, for keeping us

“pampered,” well fed, and making us as comfortable as possible during our unprecedented times of the COVID pandemic. We would also like to thank our security team in helping us stay safe.
