This summer Phil spent some time talking with Cindy Varamo, the Grounds and Landscape Committee Chairperson in our community.

Cindy also has another passion. As a volunteer for the past few years, Cindy has been involved with the “Save the Turtles” campaign and set up her ‘outdoor office’ on Great Bay Blvd. Her mission is to protect the turtles, or terrapins as they are referred to here, during their migration period which includes protecting them from passings cars and bicycles, natural predators, and building caged, individual dwellings for each terrapin.

Listen to Cindy tell her story, and possibly encourage you to get involved in this noble cause.

Why did the turtle cross the road? Listen and find out.

Joe B. and Larry join Phil to read some Fan Mail which leads them to a discussion on Palisades Amusement Park and then onto other amusement parks in the area they visited back in the day. They also start up a discussion on their experiences of when they moved into our community and how they met people. Joe B and Phil return later to discuss the importance of socializing in retirement, the benefits, and suggest some activities we can all get involved in. Tommy V. hosts another game of Fact or Crap with Jeannie Di Giacomo, Joyce Fatovich, and John Redavid joining the panel. Rich Patti returns as our Standup Comic and Joe B. has some more advice for us with another Just in Case and Did You Know?

While the world was watching the Paris 2024 Olympics, many from our community were participating and watching our own community Olympics. This new event's Organizer and Host, Bob Hrable, returns with Phil for a wrap-up of our Olympics and lets us know if this was a one-off or may become an annual event. Enjoy

In this Podcast, Tom Valledolmo interviews John O'Reilly, a Baymen Men's Club member and a former Chairman of our Pool and Clubhouse Commitee in our community. During the mid-70's, John started his career as the Director of Marketing for the NY Cosmos Soccer Team in the old NASL Soccer League. At this time the Cosmos were a struggling team as was the league struggling as a whole. It was during this time that the Cosmos acquired a player some consider to be the greatest soccer player to have ever played the game, Pele. This greatly impacted the team, the entire league, and created a profound interest in soccer in our country. John talks about the business of marketing the Cosmos and his business and personal relationship with Pele. Whether you are a soccer fan or not, you don't want to miss this one.
