Professional Entertainment Committee:
Rockin’ the World—One Song at a Time
By Pat Shaw
The Bronx Wanderers, a popular
50s and 60s doo-wop and rock
‘n’ roll band, have amassed a huge,
loyal following—from the sands of
Point Pleasant Beach to the desert
sands of Abu Dhabi.
And now, the Professional Entertainment
Committee is delighted
to bring them to Renaissance. These
dynamic musicians and singers will
be in our clubhouse ballroom on Saturday
evening, December 1. If you
haven’t already done so, please mark
your calendar. We guarantee that this
live band performance will have you
tapping, clapping, and singing along.
The Bronx Wanderers tell the
stories and play the music that will
take you back to the magical era
when, in the words of actor Danny
Aiello, one of the group’s fans, “the
music had heart, soul, and a sound...
tunes that made you want to dance,
harmonies that made you high, lyrics
that, once in a while, even made
you cry.” The Bronx Wanderers
capture the essence of that 50s and
60s music. This is doo-wop and rock
‘n’ roll at its very best. You will not
be disappointed!
Sign-up is on Saturday, November
10, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
Tickets are $15.
Communications Committee:
Telephone Directory and Welcome
Reception Committee
By Betty Vermette
Vinny Bono chairs the Telephone
Directory and Welcome Reception
Committee. This sub-committee of
Communications strives to accurately
produce a bi-yearly telephone
directory, and effectively familiarize
new residents with the community
via a Welcome Reception. Renters
are also invited to list their names
in the Renaissance Telephone Directory
and attend the yearly Welcome
Reception.
Renaissance is governed by
the Renaissance Homeowners Association.
Resident volunteers, like
Vinny and his committee, produce
our telephone directory every other
year. New residents are asked to
complete a form that requests their
name, address, and telephone number.
This information is incorporated
into the current directory database
by Carole Kennedy, our resident data
entry volunteer. A telephone directory
supplement is distributed as an
insert to the Renaissance Times in
those years in which no telephone
directory is published. The 2013
telephone directory supplement, or
addendum, is scheduled to be distributed
in December, 2012. Sandy
Brownstein, Block Captain Chair,
will coordinate delivery.
The Welcome Reception will be
held on November 5 in the clubhouse
ballroom. Vinny Bono obtains an
up-to-date list of new residents
from PMO, coordinates sending
invitations, and finalizes the agenda.
Members of the Social Committee
assist with the reception; Carlyn Acciavatti,
the previous chair, serves as
a consultant; our deli owner, Terry
Kriel, handles the catering. The Welcome
Reception strives to acquaint
new residents with the Renaissance
lifestyle, answer any questions and,
in general, enable new residents to
feel comfortable in the community.
The Telephone Directory and
Welcome Reception Committee is
a vital part of the communication
services provided to all residents
by resident volunteers. Its goal
is to give general direction to the
Telephone Directory and Welcome
Reception projects and connect these
projects to various elements of the
total organization. If you have any
questions regarding this committee,
please contact Vinny Bono.
