Our Thirty-fourth Year of Publication Volume 34, No.10
Publication of Borough Park lodge #409 The Three links Fraternity, IOOF
Next Meeting: 8 pm Monday December 16th, 2024 at Temple Shalom, Mill Basin Brooklyn.
Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day 12/7: There are times when a course of action by one country creates an anticipated and rousing response. This was such an occasion.
Borough Park Lodge #409 Launches Toy Drive for 2024: On Tuesday December 17th at 8:30 am we will meet at Coney Island Hospital to distribute toys for the kids in the Clinic under the care of Dr. Siegal. We have to pre-register all members who wish to attend, so contact Bennett or Alan to confirm your intention to join us.
Opinions, discourse, and empowerment: It is very much worth noting that a well-spoken individual will always have our attention. Our support may go elsewhere but we are inclined at the very least, to listen. A clear, concise message will move people. An attorney with a limp argument has little hope for judicial intervention. The leaders among us all speak well. If they spoke poorly, they would not lead for us for long. The art of public speaking is not hereditary. There is no medicinal supplement nor magic potion. It is stand on your two feet and deliver. If you are not quite there, then you need to come to our meetings to practice.
Please note Dues for the 2025 year is $85.00 We will send out the Dues bills November ’24. You are welcome to send in your Dues ASAP
Have you got game? Every Sunday (weather permitting) several seniors (your editor included) gather at Coney Island Park (Neptune and 27th Street) or Marine Park, to play doubles tennis. We now meet at 9 am. If you have game and would like to join us, call Fran Schwartz at 347-794-1315 for the Sunday tennis match! For Pickles contact Gus.
BnI Scholarship: Please note that the Marcus Berliner Scholarship may in fact supplant the BNI Scholarship. The Officers and Members have decided to extend the BNI Scholarship through the Fall 2024 Semester. Continuation through spring 2025 is up for debate.
Burial Reservations: The cost for reservations at our cemeteries will go up with the rise in dues come January 2025. Those members with reservations will not be affected.
