Hors d'oeuvres anyone?

BNC Baltimore's closing meeting, installation and book & author luncheon at the Woodholme Country Club was beautiful, delicious and mentally stimulating. The new officers were installed by Mid-Atlantic Region President Sharon Higgins.

Poet Dr. Michael Salcman and Susan McCallum-Smith, Literary Editor, The Urbanite were our guest speakers. Dr. Salcman read a unique selection of his work during the first half of the program, and then Susan McCallum-Smith asked him thought-provoking and revealing questions.

Sit and Knit Group Sends Scarves to יִשְׂרָאֵל.

Our BNC Baltimore's knitters knitted and sent nine black scarves to soldiers in Israel. Amit Yaffe, Marcia Snyder's niece

has forwarded these photos , showing friends who participated in their SarEl volunteer program. As you can see, the scarves we knitted are being worn most hapily by the Israelis. Thanks to all who contributed to making the scarves.

A commander of a unit in the Golan Heights was very happy to give the scarves to his soldiers, as it can get very chilly on those mountains.

Its membership is connected to the University through fundraising and through activities that reflect the values on which the University was founded: academic excellence, social justice, non-sectarianism, and service to the community.

BNC allocates significant financial resources to establish general and named scholarships and fellowships.

Members can attend lectures given by faculty and enroll in study groups that use Brandeis faculty authored syllabi. See our Live and Learn page for course listings and our calendar page for class meeting dates and times.

There is also an opportunity for service to local communities with projects emulating the University's mission focusing on education, literacy and ending hunger.
