CINNAMON COVE RECREATION
Hopkins' Review
Recreation Director
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are ready for a month packed with fun! As you all return, please remember; you may sign up for any event that is advertised in the newspaper the day the newspaper comes out, (if the office is open) unless otherwise specified in the newspaper. Events are first come first served; don’t forget to sign up for a table when you purchase your tickets. Please do not place anyone on “your” table, unless they have purchased tickets. The office appreciates your patience as we are learning a new program that will make us more efficient in the office. We also appreciate you paying for events with checks as it is easier to balance the books! And the last reminder for you is when you are playing games, ie; hand and foot; Mah Jongg, pinochle, etc. please remember that Cinnamon Cove Residents have first priority over non residents to play.
Don’t forget the 2011 phone books are in the office, stop by and pick yours up.

Deadline: Friday January 13, 2012
First a word from Yolanda for Dresses for Haiti, dresses made from pillowcases,
then a wonderful lunch provided by the Party Guys, and our entertainment
of the day Mentalist Mark Stone is one of the nation’s most sought
after entertainers. He acquired an interest in E.S.P. and began developing
his skills early in his senior year at the University of Maryland. By
year’s end, Mark had put together a short show and he performed
it for the members of his college dormitory. Doing that show for his
friends was the perfect place to start. Then Mark tried his hand at
a lounge in Baltimore that had an open-mic night. Mark did his five
minute stint and the crowd wanted more...and more!!! Mark was hooked.
Entertaining was his thing. He worked hard to hone his talents, and
as his abilities grew, Mark was called upon time and time again to perform
for dinner parties, birthday parties, and the like. His show grew more
and more mind boggling. Comedy was added. Next thing you know, Mark
was invited to perform at New York's Upstairs at the Downstairs. Then,
Dangerfield's!!! Next came a call from the Dick Cavett Show, ABC's late
night talk show. Mark appeared on Cavett's show on a Wednesday night
and Dick Cavett couldn't heap enough praise on Mark. Right on the air,
Cavett asked Mark to come back again... 2 nights later. And as they
say, the rest is history and Mark was on his way. Mark now performs
his show MENTALMANIA for all kinds of audiences. Those who have seen
Mark on one of his many TV appearances—he amazed Johnny Carson,
Oprah, Regis Philbin, Chevy Chase, and Maury Povich, just to name a
few—or at one of the many thousands of shows he has done for corporations,
colleges, cruise lines, or casinos all agree. Mark’s show is the
most amazing and entertaining demonstration of mental gymnastics you’ll
ever see!
