Regency Book Club
Enjoy reading and discussing books with good company? Come join the Regency Book Club! Join us for reading some of the latest award winning books and for food and treats!
​
How our book club works:
We choose new books and meet approximately every 6 weeks (In the Coquina Ballroom) for new book discussions. Our meetings are served with food and drink based on the theme and/or setting of the book that the club is reading. We have been pretty fortunate to have our authors Zoom in for our meetings as well!

Regency Cares
Most, if not all of us at Regency have achieved some sort of financial success and stability. We are pretty fortunate to live in a beautiful community with great people. It's like summer camp, where every day can be a fun day.
However, we all know there are those less fortunate than us, people who have constant financial struggles, communities that are run down and organizations that are in desperate need of any kind of help.
I'm sure a good number of us have given back in some way shape or form. We do it because we care but also because it makes us feel good as well. It can be one of the most rewarding gestures we can make.
Join us and become a member of Regency Cares!

It’s a great way to discover new recipes, swap cooking tips, and enjoy a relaxed, friendly atmosphere while nibbling on a little bit of everything.

Regency Day Trippers
Travel opens your eyes to new cultures, different ways of life and an entire world outside of your day-to-day routine. To reap the benefits of travel, you sometimes don't have to go far. By simply traveling just a few miles up the road, you may find something fresh and exciting to see - it's just a matter of seizing the moment and exploring opportunities in front of you. That's exactly what Regency Day Trippers aim to do - explore the beautiful and inviting areas surrounding our community.
Do you enjoy visiting new, interesting places? Need to get off the compound for the day and go somewhere? If so, "Day Tripping" is just the thing for you! The Regency Day Trippers Club organizes "away" group trips to various events and tours of interesting locations. Some trips last most of the day and others only a few hours. Some have a fee, others are free!
++++ There are no set amount of trips per year as we are subject to types of trips and availability. We would like to do a minimum of 6 per year.
To be a member: there is a $50 membership fee for joining Regency Day Trippers. Membership fee covers admin cost and any upfront costs, plus a small membership gift.
​
To Attend these trips: All members will be emailed details of a scheduled activity several weeks in advance (including whether there are any fees and relevant ticketing information). Simply respond if you are attending and we will send out trip details including time, duration and payment details.
