A New Scholarship Opportunity: From the Oddfellows & Rebekahs Educational Foundation, IOOF comes the Ingstrom Regional Scholarship. Never heard of it? Neither did I, however I met a lovely young lady filling an application. She is the great-granddaughter of Lester Berman. Rember him? The application is somewhat daunting but the effort is worth it. Should you qualify the amount is $5,000.00 Very generous indeed. Deadline 5/15.
Borough Park Lodge end of Year Dinner We shall gather at China New Star Restaurant on Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn Sunday June 22nd at 3pm to Celebrate. Please call Bennett at 718-627-5896 to RSVP ASAP! TYVM! We are looking to see all members in good standing attend!
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) to play doubles tennis. We now meet at 10 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.
