The Twilight Zone: For those of you young enough to have watched Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone, you may recall his stance, his monotone introductions and your brief trip to places unknown. Surreal, surprising and sometimes dis-concerting, the world of Rod Serling was certainly bizarre. Published recently is a book by Nicholas Parisi which delves into the concept of “How Rod Serling Foreshadowed the Age of Trump”. For your consideration, an interesting thesis and even better read.
Borough Park Lodge agenda: With Spring around the corner, we carefully contemplate the relevance of Borough Park Lodge #409. Where are we to place our energy, our good-will, our benevolence? We seek suggestions from our members so as to keep our Lodge active, alert and relevant. Send us your reccomendations!
Have you got mail? We would like to get back to sending out Birthday and Anniversary cards. Please take a moment and email Bennett Heller your birthday and your anniversary date. Please include your spouse’s name! Bennett is at BH4860@aol.com
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.
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. BNI final semester will be Spring 2025.
