Neighborly News:Jerry Lazarus,my friend and neighbor here in the Vizcaya community couldn’t wait to tell me good news about his grandson, Noah Babin. The twenty-three year old Palm Beach Gardens native and graduate of Notre Dame Mendoza School of Business, was signed by the Carolina Hurricanes major league hockey team with a lucrative signing bonus and a two year contract. The six foot, 195 pound defenseman becomes the first born and raised Florida athlete to sign a professional hockey contract.
After congratulating him, I said: “I have some good news about my 34 year old grandson Arthur. On October 1st he started a new job in the Boston area as Senior Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at a major corporation in the area. Early in November he relocated his wife and five and a half year old daughter from Marietta, GA. to Southborough, MA.”
“Jerry,” I continued with a brilliant flash of inspiration, “that makes us charter members of the new club we just formed: The Delray Beach Proud Grandparents Club, which will be known by its acronym DBPGC from now on.”
If you’re a proud grandparent in Delray, let us hear from you. Send us a few lines about your grand offspring. We’ll let the world know right here in our blog space, and make you a member of DBPGC.
Ping Pong Teams Attention
Milton Shapiro of Huntington Lakes throws down a paddle and challenges other teams in the area to a match at the Recreation Room with a couple of brand new table tennis tables in the spacious Huntington Lakes Clubhouse. Call Milt at 637-0159 to have your team take his team on. When I asked him if he just started the club he said they’ve been playing for 20 years. That’s a lot of practice time.
At the Delray/Boynton Chapter Hearing Loss Association meeting Friday morning Nov. 16 at the South County Civic Center, Chapter President Oscar Segal opened the meeting with a slide presentation about a hearing aid technology called the Telecoil. The telecoil, also called the “t-switch” or “t-coil,” is a small, coiled wire inserted into a hearing aid that will allow a person to hear better on the telephone. A hearing aid with a telecoil can make a dramatic difference in a person’s ability to hear clearly on the telephone in a noisy kitchen, at an outdoor phone booth with cars zooming by, or on the white courtesy phone in an airport terminal because it cuts out all background noise – only the sound coming from the telephone is heard.
Featured guest speaker was Cori Walker, AuD., a board certified Doctor of Audiology. Her training gives her expertise to determine the exact nature of an individual’s hearing problems and provide appropriate treatment options. She can be reached in Delray at 638-5156.
The next meeting of the chapter will be Friday, December 21 at 9:45 AM at the Civic Center where Ed Kissel of Mobile Source will discuss cell phones for the hearing impaired. The public is welcome.
