3 3 SIERRA REGENCY ~ OCTOBER 13TH HELLO EVERYONE, We had another great day out with our cars on Thursday, Oct.13th at Sierra Regency Retirement Community. As the season winds down, a few more car shows are left and a few toy runs for the Holidays, we went out in style on Thursday. A little possibility of rain (did not stop us from going), which did not occur. Most of us met at Strikes to caravan over to the facility. We had a total of 22 cars, 18 of us left Strikes on time and headed on over to Sierra Regency, a smooth and easy drive over with a little freeway driving, ending up on Sunrise Ave and onto the facility. Mike Roby, Tom and Pat Kirkbride and a former member and good friend Rich Reidburn went over directly and welcomed us in as well as staff members. The layout is perfect for our cars, a lot of shade and plenty of chairs and tables set out for our and the residents comfort and pleasure, as we all watched up close and listened to a great live musical duo who played naturally, oldies but goodies. The food and beverages are just simply over the top. We had doughnuts and coffee in the morning and a great lunch with tri tip sandwiches and all the trimmings: potato salad and two types of pasta. a variety of beverages was also available for us. A lot of residents came out to view the cars. I was particularly impressed with a gentleman named Hue. He was actually thanking everyone he could with a handshake for bringing out our cars, As we discussed the day with him, he revealed he was only 101 YEARS OLD. We met several residents that were well into their eighties. To be able to stay at Sierra Regency you need to be able to get around on your own. We were amazed at all the very healthy senior citizens at this facility. They loved our cars and were very happy we showed up. This was our third year in a row and hopefully there will be many more to come. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE MEMBERS WHO CAME OUT TO MAKE THIS A VERY SPECIAL DAY AND EVENT. By Ray Geiger
