Gold Coast Notes - October 19, 2012

Thanks to Joel for sponsoring this week's bkfst. Club Secretary will sponsor next week's.

Gold Coast Club gave warm welcome to South HS from Robotics Club and the Midnight Run.

In the midnight run 25 students provided the homeless in NYC with a variety of supplies

(a significant amount donated by Gold Coast Club). The next run is Nov. 17 and we will again collect items to distribute.

The Club also welcomed members of the 60 person Robotics Club. The HS has participated with distinction the past 6 years in a world wide competition and will soon provide college level credit for Robotics. The Club donated $1800 to their teacher and our member Motch!!

Kathy Priven and Lisa Mevorach (our member!!) described the Great Neck Food Pantry project which is supported by many schools and Temples in the area. Every two weeks the 9 volunteers supply needed food and clothing to 55 families of need in the area. The Gold Coast Club made a donation of $500 to this worthwhile charity and will seek to provide further support in the future.

SEMINAR: This Sat Oct. 20 at 10 am and again at 2 pm Sunday at All Saints Church 855 Middle Neck Rd Club members Ed Casey, Joel Meltzer and Lisa Mevorach will speak on life planning!!!

Pres. Betsy outlined a new project she is sponsoring. She is working with the Dean of Benjamin Cardozo HS in Bayside seeking the most improved student senior who is heading off to college. Students selected will write an essay that will be submitted to the Club and one will be chosen as Gold Coast Scholar.
