Movie Matinee 

Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 2:30 p.m. 

Social Hall – $1 per person 

The Social Hall has been reserved 

for those who wish to see the movie 

Fool’s Gold. Co-stars Kate Hudson 

and Matthew McConaughey re-team 

on the big screen for this adventurous 

tale about a treasure-hunting couple 

whose eight-year quest for the ultimate 

prize has left them flat broke and 

fresh out of gas. Ben “Finn” Finnegan 

(McConaughey) is a treasure hunter 

who has made it his mission in life to track down the Queen’s 

Dowry, a legendary collection of 40 chests filled with priceless 

treasure, and lost at sea in 1715. But in his single-minded quest 

to track down this sizable booty, Finn has sadly neglected his 

marriage to his loving wife Tess (Hudson). Tess has grown tired 

of the hunt, and now she’s looking to start her life anew by 

going to work on the massive yacht of globetrotting billionaire 

Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland). But just as Tess begins 

to relish the freedom on her new, laid-back lifestyle, Finn uses 

his roughish charm to convince the adventurous baron and his 

debutante daughter Gemma (Alexis Dziena) that the elusive 

Spanish treasure is finally within reach. Of course no magnate 

in his right mind would reject the prospect of tracking down the 

most mythical treasure on the planet, and now as the hapless 

Tess is forced on yet another wild goose chase, her husband’s 

former mentor Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) and a greedy local 

gangster (Kevin Hart) up the stakes by joining in on the race.

Jennifer Fowler Social Director ~ GL Homes 

Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. 

Social Hall – $1 per person 

The Social Hall has been 

reserved for those who wish 

to see the movie The Bank 

Job starring Jason Statham 

and Saffron Burrows, in 

director Roger Donaldson’s 

cinematic account of the 

true-life 1971 London bank 

robbery that baffled the 

authorities and fascinated 

the public. Terry Leather 

(Statham) was a small-time car dealer who was trying 

to leave his shady past behind and start a family. 

Though he’d never been involved in any major crimes, 

he wasn’t exactly on the straight and narrow his whole 

life either. Martine Love (Burrows) is a beautiful 

model from Terry’s old neighborhood who knows 

that her former neighbor is no angel. When Martine 

proposes a foolproof plan to rob a Baker Street bank, 

Terry recognizes the danger but realizes this may be 

the opportunity of a lifetime. As the operation gets 

underway, the resourceful band of thieves burrows 

its way into a safe-deposit vault at the Lloyds Bank in 

Marylebone, quickly hitting a literal treasure trove of 

cash and priceless gems. But while the crew did know 

that the safe-deposit boxes contained millions in riches, 

they didn’t realize that they also contained secrets that 

implicated everyone from London’s most notorious 

underworld gangsters to powerful government figures, 

and even the Royal Family. Though the crime would 

make headlines all across Britain for several days after 

the fact, a government gag order eventually brought 

all reporting on the case to an immediate halt. Could 

it be that the most notorious bank robbers in recent 

memory were actually the most innocent people 

involved in this scandalous crime?

TENNIS ACTIVITIES 

Summer Tennis Court Hours 

Starting May 1 through October 31 the morning tennis 

court hours will start at 7:30 a.m. and will continue 

every hour and a half until 12 p.m. Afternoon hours 

will begin at 2:30 p.m. If you have any questions call 

Paul Cranis. 

A Note from your Tennis Professional 

Welcome back to all that have been away for the 

summer months. All prices for tennis lessons and 

other goods have been reduced for the month of 

September. Our Valencia Pointe men’s and women’s 

tennis shirts are still available. The ball machine is 

ready for your use. If you have not filled out your tennis 

questionnaire, please do so, it will be very helpful with 

planning programs for the 2008-2009 season. For 

more information or if you have questions, contact 

Paul at 561-573-5666. 

September Specials 

Special high quality stringing and new grip only $30 

($40 value). Restringing your tennis racquet is highly 

recommended if you have not done so in the past 5 

months. 

Tennis Clinics 

Come improve your tennis game with one or all of our 

different tennis clinics! Clinics are being offered every 

Thursday and Saturday starting at 8 a.m. The cost is $5 

per person for the month of September. 

Tennis Lessons 

Lessons are a great way to get back into tennis or to 

improve your game! Private and group lessons are 

offered at very affordable rates. Please call Paul Cranis 

for a lesson today at 561-573-5666. 

1-hour of private lesson – $50 

30-minutes of private lesson – $15 

1-hour semi private lesson – $15 per person 

1- hour 3 person and tennis pro – $15 per person 

During the months of May through September, the 

morning hours can be uncomfortably hot and humid 

playing tennis. For this reason, I am planning to 

offer private instruction, clinics and programs during 

the evening hours, and in some cases, under the 

lights. If playing tennis during the evening hours is 

of interest you, I encourage you to please contact me 

with your interest. That way I can plan and prepare 

appropriately. 

— Paul Cranis, Tennis Professional 

Lang Management would like to remind all residents to 

turn off the tennis court lights after you have finished 

playing. Thank you for your cooperation.

Bible Study 

The Bible class will begin 

again October 27 and will 

meet on Monday mornings 

from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. 

in the classroom. We will 

continue to study the Hebrew 

Scriptures and will also add 

selections from other holy 

literature including the Christian Scriptures, the Koran, etc. 

Holy writings have influenced all of us and continue to affect 

us to this very day. Everyone is invited to join us to study and 

discuss this great motivation of human actions. 

Bicycle Club 

Cycling in South Florida is a pleasure given the number 

of streets with clearly marked bike lanes, long stretches of 

empty sidewalks and flat terrain. Cycling is a wonderful 

sport for weight control and cardiovascular conditioning, 

especially for those with arthritic knees, requiring low impact 

activities. A good ride justifies stopping at restaurants, 

ice cream parlors and other vendors of tasty treats. If you 

would like to join others seeking company on medium to 

long distance cycling, losing weight and getting into and 

maintaining top physical conditioning, please contact Larry 

Simon at (561) 369-3842 or lrsimon5@bellsouth.net.

Us.” Let this club be a wonderful 

experience in which we can 

continue learning in the spirit of 

exploration. It has been a very 

interesting adventure to date. 

Our field trips thus far have been 

great examples of how amazing 

the nature in our area is. The Bird 

& Nature Club will be taking a summer recess... Our next 

meeting will be Monday, October 6 at 7:30 in the Arts & 

Crafts Room. We are planning for a very exciting bus trip in

those who do not have a boat here, Ken will be taking people 

out on afternoon day trips on an as needed basis. To join or

Men’s Book Club NEW 

Valencia Pointe offers something for everyone. Poker, 

Mah Jongg, arts & crafts, Girl Talk, Women’s Book Club 

and thats just to name a few. Now for the first time 

at Valencia Pointe, a non-fiction book club just for 

men. This club is chaired by two voracious readers 

and intellectually curious guys Ira Raff and Steve 

Tamber. We will explore the world around us using 

serious literature as our guide. Our first book will be 

“The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and The Road to 9/11” 

written by Lawrence Wright. This 2006 book begins 

with the events of September 11, 2001. Those events 

were in many ways less the start of a tale than the end 

of one. It began many years before in many different 

precincts: the middle-class suburbs of Cairo, the 

mosques of Hamburg, Jidda, Islamabad and in the quiet 

university town of Greeley, Colo. In its simplest terms, 

this is the story of how a small group of men, with a 

frightening mix of delusion and calculation, rose from 

tormented civilization 

to mount a catastrophic 

assault on the world’s 

mightiest power, and how 

another group of men and 

women, convinced that 

such an attack was on the 

way, tried to desperately 

stop it. We will meet 

Wednesday, October 29 in 

the Classroom at 4 p.m. 

for our first discussion. 

Following the discussion, 

we will pick a book for 

the next meeting. All 

participants are welcome 

to suggest a book or books. The book to read will be 

decided by the members. The person offering the 

book will lead the next discussion. Contact Steve at 

SITamber@aol.com or Ira at tobim9@bellsouth.net.

ORT America 

SAVE THE DATE: January 11, 2009 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 

the Valencia Pointe Social Hall for a Founding Document 

Signing & International Dinner. 

Did you know: ORT America in Partnership with World 

ORT promotes the understanding and appreciation of 

Jewish values through a 

global network of schools 

and training programs in 63 

countries that boast more 

than 3 million graduates 

to date. Worldwide Jewish 

and secular communities 

are strengthened in those towns and cities in which ORT 

programs exist. The cutting edge education acquired at ORT 

schools and colleges and international programs provide 

marketable skills that enable 270,000 students annually to 

attain successful careers, become community leaders and 

live independently.We are facing a critical emergency — a 

devastating gap of 30% to fund our ORT programs around 

the world due to the decline in the value of the dollar. 

Our global network of schools and educational programs 

is at risk because goods and services must be purchased 

inthe countries of operations and in today’s economy, that


means that the dollars we raise purchase 30% less (in books, 

computers, etc.) today than they did just two weeks ago. 

We hope that you will consider becoming a supporter of 

ORT AMERICA. For more information please contact Gina 

Resnick at 733-2245 Annette Holland at 561/997-1071.

Greetings from your Total Health Systems Staff 

Personal trainers are beneficial for everyone. It doesn’t matter 

how experienced or conditioned you are. Personal trainers 

have the knowledge to modify your routine and improve 

results. A certified personal trainer can offer knowledge and 

motivation and can help you reach your goals. What if your 

doctor told you he could write a prescription for a medicine 

that would do all of the following; lower blood pressure, 

blood sugar and weight; improve cholesterol, sleep, bone 

and heart health; and decrease the risk for cancer? Imagine 

one prescription that could do all of those things and more. 

Would you be interested? I bet most of you would. Well, 

that prescription really exists. There’s just one catch: You’ll 

need 30 minutes each day to take it. Yes, the “medicine” 

that we’re talking about is EXERCISE. Studies linking a 

physically active lifestyle to good health are numerous 

and profound. The majority of Americans don’t get nearly 

enough exercise. We are a sedentary nation and physicians 

have been less than effective at getting patients active. 

Doctors at the American College of Sports Medicine and The 

American Medical Association want to make a difference 

in our nation’s health. They have launched the “Exercise 

is Medicine” initiative. It aims not only to raise public 

awareness for a physically active lifestyle, but also to help 

drive home the medical importance of exercise to physicians 

and other health care workers. Physicians should be writing

Australian outback, Greg was 

born to be an entertainer.

Rivers, and a host of stars, Greg’s career is off and running 

in the US. Now a headliner in major venues across the US...

Joe Piscopo 

Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m. — $30 per person 

Television, film, theater, nightclubs... 

they’re all fields in which Joe Piscopo 

has won the acclaim and affection of 

millions. In 1980, Joe was chosen to join 

a newly formed ensemble charged with 

one of the most difficult tasks in TV 

history... replacing the original cast of 

Saturday Night Live. 

By the time he left the show in 1985, 

Joe had left his mark on the program 

and the nation thanks to his wide range of hilarious original 

characters and celebrity impersonations, from The Sports 

Guy and Doug Whiner to David Letterman and, of course, 

Frank Sinatra, who had repeatedly endorsed Joe’s portrayal 

of him. In addition, Joe starred in 3 HBO specials, his work in 

the first of these, The Joe Piscopo Special, won him a Cable 

ACE Award for Outstanding Performance. 

In Hollywood, Joe starred in such smash hits as “Wise Guys” 

and “Johnny Dangerously.” Joe appeared in a myriad of films 

and eventually moved onto Broadway where he appeared in 

the revival of “Grease” to standing room only crowds. 

At Valencia Pointe, Joe will showcase his comedic talents, 

impressions as well as his musical abilities. You won’t want 

to miss this extraordinary show! 

Sal Richards & Dick Capri 


Sal Richards and Dick Capri are each comedy powerhouses. 

Usually, they headlines shows alone. To end the Valencia 

season on a high, we have paired them together for a night 

you will not soon forget! These two 

comics will have you laughing until you 

cry and your stomach hurts. This show 

is not to be missed! 

Sal Richards is a Brooklyn native 

deemed one of the funniest guys in 

showbiz by the New York Daily News 

and voted entertainer of the year in 

Atlantic City many times over. Also in 

the entertainment industry, he was 

voted funniest comic by the New York Friars Club. Sal has 

appeared in films including Rounders, Fighting Back, Law & 

Order: Criminal Intent and costarred with Stephen Segal in 

Out For Justice. Although he does serious roles in movies and 

television, comedy remains Sal’s first love as he is regularly 

performing venues across the nation. Sal Richards is one of 

the true anchors in the show business industry today. 

Dick Capri has taken the comedy world 

by storm and has left millions laughing 

in his comedic wake. In a career that has 

spanned two continents, he has played 

every major entertainment medium 

including nightclubs, resorts, arenas 

and theaters. Capri has even plied his 

trade on the Broadway stage and on 

national television. He has worked with 

such major stars as Tom Jones, Liza 

Minnelli, and Frank Sinatra. 

Series B 

Jon Stetson — 

He Knows What You’re Thinking! 

Saturday, January 10 at 8 p.m. — $20 per person 

Q: What do you have in common with 

Oprah, President Bush, President 

Carter, The King of Sweden, Donald 

Trump and the New England Patriots? 

A: You have the unique opportunity

Stetson Experience, as did this 

elite group of individuals. All of the 

individuals listed above are proud 

to recommend Jon Stetson and his 

amazing performances. 

Jon Stetson is a mentalist and has performed at the White 

House on FIVE separate occasions. He has presented in 23

Planet. Come find out if he knows what you are thinking! 

Sarge 

Saturday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. — $20 per person 

Born in Miami Beach and raised in Long Island, Sarge 

is one of the highest energy, multi-talented acts in show 

business today. Not only a hilarious stand-up comedian, 

Sarge can sing. He sings in his own voice and in a dozen 

others — Harry Connick Jr., Sammy Davis Jr., Lionel Richie 

and Stevie Wonder to name a few. Add to these his dead on 

VALENCIA POINTE

impressions of Marv Albert, Mike Tyson, Kermit the Frog and 

Gilbert Gottfried. 

Sarge has opened for some of the biggest names in music 

including Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Paul Anka, The Beach 

Boys, The Four Tops, Taylor Dayne, Donna Summer and Wayne 

Newton. He has worked some of the biggest stages in show 

business. From Radio City Music Hall to 

Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, 

Sarge’s ability to improvisationalize and 

tailor his show to specific audiences is 

uncanny. 

Highly sports knowledgable, Sarge 

had his own nationally syndicated 

sports radio talk show on Fox Sports 

Radio, heard in 128 cities, while writing, 

producing and performing segments for 

Fox’s wildly successful “Best Damn Sports Show Period.” 

Just having returned from an amazing trip to Iraq to 

entertain the troops, he is looking forward to going back soon 

to do more of the most fulfilling entertaining he’s ever done. 

That, of course, after he entertains us at Valencia Pointe! 

“Walk Like a Man” — 

A Tribute to the Music of Frankie Valli 

& The Four Seasons 

Thursday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. — $30 per person 

“Walk Like a Man” takes you behind the music of Frankie 

Valli and The Four Seasons. This tribute will follow the ragsto-rock-to-riches 

tale of four blue-collar kids working their 

way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom. 

Featuring such hits as “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Can’t 

Take My Eyes Off You,” “Walk Like a Man” and more. 

Four young, hot Broadway veterans bring this tribute to life 

in the most unexpected ways performing and recreating the 

memorable hits made famous by this extraordinary group. 

All cast members have either played a principle role or 

understudied the roles of Tommy DeVino, Nick Massi, Nick 

DeVito or Frankie Castelluccio (Frankie Valli) on Broadway. 

The names of the four performers will be released two or 

three weeks prior to showtime. This tribute is being produced 

by the same folks that brought us 100 Years of Broadway last 

year. You don’t want to miss this extraordinary evening! 

Yesterday, A Tribute to the Beatles 


Take a musical 

journey to a bygone 

era of peace, love 

and innocence 

with the #1 Beatles 

tribute act in the 

world — Yesterday. 

These four artists 

perform worldwide 

thrilling audiences 

on six continents 

with exciting vocals, 

witty stage mannerisms and costume changes as they 

perform music from the Beatles early years through the Sgt. 

Pepper era. Join them on “Mystery Tour” from 1964-1970 

as you go back in time with this convincing and accurate 


portrayal by Yesterday! “The British are Coming” 

This show is a live reenactment of the revolutionary concerts 

introducing the first wave of British sounds to America. Join 

us in welcoming John, Paul, George and Ringo! 

Michael Amante 

Saturday, March 14 at 8:45 p.m. — $30 per person 

Michael Amante, one of the most talked about upcoming 

American tenors on either side of the pop/classical divide, 

creates buzz among everyone who 

hears his voice. Backed by rave reviews, 

momentum continues to build behind 

this inspired artist. 

Amante’s debut album, self-titled, 

Michael Amante, topped Billboard 

Magazine’s 2002 charts at #1 for Top 

Midline Classical Artist, and #5 for Top 

Midline Classical Album. The album was 

widely recognized, and Amante has been 

hailed as “The Fourth Tenor,” by entertainer, Regis Philbin 

and “The next Mario Lanza” by artist Tony Bennett. The New 

York Post dubbed Amante as “the golden-voiced tenor.” 

Amante is one of the most versatile and gifted performers 

anywhere. He performs a mind blowing array of styles from 

High Classical to Pop/Rock and Broadway. 

Not only has Amante performed to sold out audiences across 

the country, including Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, The Sands 

Casino in Atlantic City, and New York City’s Lincoln Center, 

he has also given performances to countless dignitaries 

including former US Presidents Gerald Ford, George H.W. 

Bush, and Bill Clinton, Pope John Paul II, Luciano Pavarotti, 

Sophia Loren, Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, and Julia 

Roberts, to name a few. Amante has appeared on ABC’s “The 

View,” “The Best Damn Sports Show, Period,” “The Tony 

Danza Show,” and “Emeril Live.” His PBS special, “Michael 

Amante” received a regional Emmy Award nomination.

new name of the show previously called 100 Years of 

Broadway. The show will feature original Broadway 

stars from your favorite productions. The cast has yet 

to be announced, but the evening is being produced
