Our Thirty-fourth Year of Publication Volume 34, No.7
Publication of Borough Park lodge #409 The Three links Fraternity, IOOF
Next Meeting: 8 pm Monday: September 23, October 14th, November 18th and December 16th, 2024 at Temple Shalom, Mill Basin Brooklyn.
A moment of Silence to honor those fallen 9/11/01.
On the agenda: School supplies for those who call Floyd Bennett Field their home? A worthy idea. Is such a donation appropriate and timely? Seniors on their own having a hard time buying food for the Holiday. Getting food for the Holiday into their home. On the eve of Rosh Ha Shona is there a course of action we can take to better their situation?
Autumn arrives: Crisp weather, crisp leaves, crisp conversation as Summer slowly comes to an end. We seek new members to grow and fortify our Lodge. Can you refer a relative, friend, or neighbor to our Lodge? Try!
Had enough TV: reading can be your solution. Exceptional authors include Alan Furst, Phillip Kerr and for an exotic trip try Hiroku Murakme- his Kafka on the Beach is wonderful
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. We will have further information after the General Lodge Session this month.
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.
