Our Thirty-fourth Year of Publication, Volume 34, No. 6
Next Meeting: 8 pm Monday: June 17th, 2024 at Temple Shalom, Mill Basin, Brooklyn.
Heart in Hand: For our June 17th meeting, we will review the many organizations we donate to and how much we donate. All members are encouraged to procure a written request from your favorite Charity to be eligible for a donation.
A Walk Back in Time: From the Estate of Ruth and Bernie Sipelstien we have a fair amount of BPL #409 memorabilia to review. Have some old friends you haven’t seen for a while? Chances are, we have their photo.
Graveside Memorial Service to Honor Fred Neil Roth: On Sunday June 16th at 10;30 am Borough Park lodge #409 Officers and Members are invited to join the Family and Friends of Fred Neil Roth, our illustrious Past Noble Grand, to celebrate his life and legacy. This ceremony will take place at Beth David Cemetery, Elmont NY, Cosmopolitan Lodge #305, grounds IOOF, Section 8, Block 8, Row I, Grave 28
Hold the date: Nassau District annual picnic on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Lido Beach under the Mushrooms! Time TBD!
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 us for long. The art of public speaking is not hereditary. There is no medicinal supplement nor magic potion. It is to stand on your two feet and deliver. If you are not quite there, then you need to come to our meetings.
2023/2034 Dues are due: If you have not sent in your dues, please do so. Current dues are $65.00 for 2025 the dues go to $85.
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.
