Pro Pickleball Exhibition At Wynmoor
By Sandra Cohen

The Pickleball Club of Wynmoor celebrated the inauguration of its beautiful newly resurfaced courts with a dazzling display of Pickleball played by
some of the area’s top professionals. A large crowd of Wynmoorites turned out to watch local Pickleball pros, Taylor Niss, Brandon Hubschman, Stacie
Townsend and Stephan Joliceur who played mixed doubles and then, teamed up with Wynmoor players for some fun games.

The event also provided the opportunity to promote the 3rd Annual Delray Beach Pickleball Classic and assisted Wynmoor players interested in signing

up for this exciting tournament. A great day in Wynmoor was had by all who attended.

Today’s column will focus on “holiday blues.” When I first started writing Holidays are traditionally, a family time and many of us don’t have family

overwhelming with a sadness at holiday time that feels like it won’t lift. It

would seem that recent losses may have the most profound impact but that is

not always true. If that is the case, know that the feelings will lift some and

again, you are not alone in your feelings. Being physically alone has nothing
to do with your self-worth. Reach out.

The most important thing to remember at this time of year, more than any

other, is to be kind to yourself. There is nothing wrong with not feeling jolly,

even if it seems that at this time of year, everyone else is. That is just not

true. Let’s try some “be kind to yourself” ideas. These are just a few ideas

and they may seem hard to do if the blues are severe, but try.

1. Try not to isolate even if you feel like it. Speak to a friend or kind

neighbor. Talking helps. You may be surprised at how much they understand

and the relationship may deepen.
2. Go to an event where there is activity and fun. Drive around enjoying

Christmas decorations. Listen to holiday music or treat yourself to a concert,

movie, or show.

3. If you feel very tired, take a nap and really enjoy it.
4. Volunteer. There is a huge need for volunteers at this time of year.
You will be doing a wonderful service for others and will increase your
self-worth. Remember kindness to others.
5. Think of good past memories or look at pictures. Instead of focusing
on what is no longer here, try to focus on how lucky you were to have had

these people and times. Assess joyful moments.
6. Plan a getaway or adventure in February or March - something to

look forward to.
7. Create a short-term bucket list. Be creative and let your imagination

go wild. It is a bucket list after all.
8. Think of someone in the past who thought you were great. Think about

the reasons they thought you were great. Write down the reasons. This is
not silly. Guess what - you are still that great person.
Let me know if you have other ideas. Again, you don’t have to be jolly,

but this is a time of year to dream and imagine and take care of yourself as

well as others.

Keep up the wonderful feedback and let me know anything you would like

to see in future columns. My hopes for a good and healthy year for all of you

and your bucket list ideas.

The audience will see specific episodes from each series and examine
how the characters triumph. The first session, Jan. 7th, will look at a
popular award-winning oldie: The Golden Girls. Enjoy the humor and
triumph of four widows, not only surviving, but conquering widowhood.

It stars talented Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle
Getty as the memorable stubborn Dorothy, ditzy Rose, man-eater Blanche,
and Dorothy’s wise cracking mom, Sophia.

For the second session, Jan. 14th, we will see Lily Tomlin and Jane
Fonda as Grace and Frankie, in what has been called an updated Golden

Girls with more style, more swearing, and much more sex. In both shows,

the women become “family” for each other and while they do their fair

share of bickering, have the considerable love and devotion for each other.
For the last two weeks, Jan. 21st and 27th, we will explore a family’s

history in one of the most brilliant TV productions ever: This is Us.

The series follows the family connections of a father and his children,

all of whom share the same birthday and the ways in which their lives

separate and intertwine. The fascinating plot methodically weaves

four seemingly disparate stories into a believable and emotional whole
through tiny-telling details, relatable moments, and conversations and
confrontations that are funny, tender or painful, or all three at once.

Critics have written:
“A 21st century thirtysomething for a TV generation that likes a splash
of high concept in their shows and isn’t afraid of melodrama.”

“The hour accomplishes what it set out to do. It creates characters so

compelling that we compulsively want to tune back in to see them again.”

“The pilot is beautifully shaped, the themes of building your own

meaning in life are smart, and the actors know their characters.”

You will know them and become enthralled, too.

The fee is $40 for the four classes and you can sign up in the Registration
Office near the pool or in the Clubhouse Library.

Brilliant Musical Historian
Returns To Wynmoor

By Beverly Friend

A confession: Irv Kaplan and I are not the only groupies in the

neighborhood. Many Wynmoor residents who enjoyed him last year will be
joining us on Tuesday morning, January 14th, when Charles Troy returns
to Wynmoor from 10:30 AM-12:00 Noon in the Lecture Hall.

We have been following Troy for many years, first at a Synagogue
program, and then at many libraries, community centers, and residences,

both in Illinois and Florida. In fact, I even hired him twice, once for

my birthday party in Lincolnwood, and the second time, for a cousins’
get-together in Boca Raton. This year, he has also appeared in Peru IN,
Scottsdale AZ, San Francisco, CA, Ann Arbor, MI, and New York City.

I can honestly say that there is no presentation I would not enjoy seeing

more, and none that I would not equally enjoy even if I were seeing it for

the second or third time.
Last January, he entertained Wynmoor with his multi-media discussion

of “Cabaret.”
This year, it will be on “The Creation Of South Pacific.”
As Troy describes the presentation: “Badly needing a hit, Rogers &

Hammerstein decided to base their next show on an obscure new book of
short stories by first-time author, James Michener. The book subsequently
won the Pulitzer Prize and so did their show, an enormous success. We will
see how South Pacific came to be this multimedia presentation illustrated
by photos, graphics, and film clips, and hear plenty of its hit tunes.”

Tickets are $10 from the Recreation Office near the pool or the Country
Club Library.

Between January 7th-24th, Troy will be making 13 presentations
throughout South Florida: in Sarasota, Longboat Key, Delray Beach,
Boynton Beach, Highland Beach, and Boca Raton. While most of these are
restricted to an audience of members and guests, the Boca Raton session on
Guys and Dolls is open to the public on January 24th from 1:00-3:00 PM at
the Sinai Residences. The cost will be $15 at the door.

on January 1st. If you purchased and/or made the property your permanent

residence in 2019 and have not applied for Homestead Exemption, you can
apply for 2020 exemptions at any time. There is no need to wait until 2020
to file your exemption application with the Property Appraiser’s Office. You
can easily apply online at www.bcpa.net or at one of our many outreach

Dear Friends,

The end of committee weeks brings us to the

start of the holiday season. I want to extend my

dearest wishes that you have the happiest, blessed

holiday with your loved ones and a spectacular end

of the year. During this time, many tend to donate

to noble causes and shop online. It is essential that

while doing so, you still stay protected. This month,

I will be sharing tips on internet safety.

TIPS:

During the holidays, many use the internet as a resource for friends and

family gift shopping or donating to charities. Although the internet has proven

to be an incredible asset, there still needs to be some caution before entering

any sensitive information, such as your name, address, or any financial

data. The Federal Trade Commission and the Florida Attorney General’s

Consumer Protection Division especially warn that internet users be wary

of scams that may be sent to their email. Below are some tips on how you

can avoid online scheme.

• Ensure that your computer has its anti-virus software up to date.
• Don’t open attachments or click links in an email from an unknown source.

• If you receive any suspicious emails, mark them as spam.

• Never include personal financial information in an email.
• It is recommended that you use a credit card instead of a debit card when

online shopping. While the disputing charges process may be the same

for both cards, it may take longer for funds to be returned to a debt card.

• Do not be a hacker’s dream by having the same password for all your

accounts. Create separate passwords for different sites, which include

symbols, numbers, upper and lower case letters.

• Review your financial accounts regularly to ensure there are no duplicate

or fraudulent charges.

• When online shopping, only use brands and businesses that you are

familiar with or have a strong reputation.

For more information, please visit the Florida Attorney General’s Consumer

Protection Division website at www.MyFloridaLegal.com or report a scam

by calling the Fraud Hotline at 1-866-966-7226.
As always, my office is here to help, so please contact us for any issues

or concerns.

Strike A Pose For Jafco
By Shelli Gold

The Wynmoor and Palm-Aire Friends of JAFCO are working together again this year to
create a fabulous event to benefit the children of JAFCO. “Strike a Pose!” will take place on
Thursday, January 30th at the Sheraton Suites in Cypress Creek. The event will include a

boutique, raffles, Luncheon and fashion show.
JAFCO is a non-profit organization serving abused and neglected children in South Florida

for 27 years. In 2003, the JAFCO Children’s Village opened in Sunrise with six group homes
and an emergency shelter. Five years ago, JAFCO established the Children’s Ability Center

to provide services for families raising children with developmental disabilities, like Autism,

in our community.

This year, Eagles’ Haven was created solely and mindfully as a wellness center for the
Marjory Stoneman Douglas/Eagles community which gives students, parents, families and

faculty one responsive and nurturing place to receive supportive or wellness services 7 days
a week, free of charge. Eagles’ Haven is a loving organization powered by JAFCO.

With the support of caring people from communities like yours, we can truly change the

world. To find out more about how you can make a difference or attend the event, please contact
