IN SUPPORT OF BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY
VOL. IX NO. 1
AUTUMN/WINTER
If you have been reading my column in past bulletins, you know I try
to start or end with a quote. Looking back I remembered a few that
got us through the early days. In the beginning our answer for any
bump in the road was: “Baby steps, just baby steps.” As we grew we
came to the realization that the successes of our chapter began with
the following: “Feed them and they will come.”
Now as we embark on our 9th year, we will challenge ourselves with
living the quote I came upon while my fingers ran across the keys of
my computer:
Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success.

After attending our New Member Tea on July 28th, I came away with
a new sense of the meaning of teamwork as I observed the flow of
ideas emanate from women who met each other for the very first
time. The feeling was that we will continue to grow, learn, create
opportunities and develop friendships.
Please participate. Offer us your expertise and your talents. With
YOU we are a TEAM. Here’s to multiplying our successes TOGETHER.

MAH JONGG MAVEN SAYS “THANK YOU!”
(L to R)Linda Levin, Carolle
Weiner, Michele Feldman
Carolle Weiner, Fund Raising Co Chair, reported that the Brandeis Mah Jongg
& Card Party held on July 14 was a huge success. Carolle credited the success
of the event to her hard working team members Michele Feldman (Co Chair)
and Linda Levin. “The work they did on this from Day One made the evening
what it was – flawless (except for the loss of the electric power!)”.
Special thanks go to all the committee members.

NEW ADDITION TO THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
Judy Carton has been named the new Co Chair
of Study Groups and will also serve on the
Executive Board as a Vice President of Study
Groups along with Ann Newman. Judy has been
a member of the Study Group Committee for
several years and has facilitated many Study Groups.
To those of you who were at our Capture the Flag event, you know how fabulous it was. For those of
you who missed it, you really MISSED IT.... it was the best party around! Thanks to those who either
baked or contributed to the sumptuous dessert and goodies table. It was outstanding and abundant. As
one of the guests commented, "This was the best Vietnamese table ever!"
The winners (pictured above) were thrilled and the booby prize winners were just as happy with their
'loss'. Our really hard working committee outdid themselves... Kudos galore to Carolle Weiner, Michele
Feldman and Linda Levin for their 'over the top' contribution to a most successful evening.
They deserve some R & R and then on to the planning of the next one! - Zelda

Rochelle Blum & Karen Schuman
On July 28th a New Member Orientation Tea was held at the home of
Elene Kurtzman, hosted also by Gayle
Rubin. Both women are the former
membership VPs. All Board and new
members
present
introduced
themselves and shared ideas and
information
pertaining
to
Brandeis.
Zelda encouraged new
members to get involved, and all
seemed eager to join study groups and participate in the various
activities that Brandeis offers. Delicious refreshments and interesting
conversations were enjoyed by all.
MEET OUR MEMBERS!
Janis Bell
Janis moved to Westlake from Caldwell, NJ about
four years ago. She just recently retired from the
Diocese of Trenton where she coordinated
ministry for maturing adults and was an
advocate for persons with disabilities. Janis
loves everything about Westlake and wants to
meet people, so she feels that Brandeis is just
what she would enjoy in addition to her children and seven
grandkids! Welcome, Janis!
Sheila Sokoloff
What a pleasure to introduce Sheila Sokoloff to
you, one of our newer members of Brandeis!
Sheila is a new retiree of one year, having spent
more than twenty years working with pre-school
and kindergarten children in Marlboro. Like so
many of our members, she found that Brandeis
offered her such a diversified range of activities,
that she has already experienced book and film
discussions, the Ethicist group, took a bus trip to Atlantic City, and of
course was with us at our “Meet and Greet” brunch and “ Welcome Tea.”
In addition to our activities, Sheila was impressed with how welcoming
and friendly everyone was towards her. Although a new member, she
may be looking to become involved in one of our committees in the
future. I know she will be one of our welcoming members to others,
sharing her positive experiences forward.

INTERESTING TIDBITS FROM BRANDEIS
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE HONORS HELLER ALUMNUS
To those who know his work in Vietnam and China, rescuing young people and women lost to the
underworld of forced labor and prostitution, Van Ta, Heller MA/SID’12, is a very brave man. Using
modern technology and old-fashioned investigative techniques, sometimes with only a photograph
and a vague location to guide them, the Vietnamese lawyer and his team of activists search for
children and women forced into modern-day slavery. In 2013 alone, Van Ta and his team traveled
to China on seven rescue missions, freeing 13 girls and women who had been sold into prostitution.
Phillip Martin, senior fellow at Brandeis’ Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism, met
Van Ta when Martin wrote a series of award-winning investigative pieces about human trafficking
for WGBH Boston Public Radio. In Brandeis Magazine, Martin described the dark nights when Van
Ta drove the streets of Ho Chi Minh City to find children who have been trapped by garment factory
owners.
MARGO HOWARD '62
In 1959, a woman in Chicago learned a St. Louis newspaper was about to print something she had
penned about love. She wrote her daughter, a Brandeis freshman, to tell her the good news. The
woman was Eppie Lederer, and the paper in question was merely the latest in the growing list of
dailies to publish her “Ann Landers” advice column, which she started writing in 1955. Through
nature or nurture, or both, Lederer’s daughter, Margo Howard, became something of an expert on
love herself. After working as a newspaper and magazine writer for 30 years, at age 58 she followed
in the advice-giving footsteps of her mother (and her mother’s twin, Pauline “Dear Abby” Phillips)
by writing the nationally syndicated columns “Dear Prudence” for Slate, then “Dear Margo” for
Yahoo! News and www.wowowow.com. Through the years, Lederer has been married four times
and currently lives in Cambridge, Mass. with her fourth husband. She’s also preparing for the lateSeptember release of her third book, “Eat, Drink and Remarry: Confessions of a Serial Wife.”

MISSION STATEMENT
Brandeis National Committee is dedicated to providing philanthropic support
to Brandeis University, a distinguished liberal arts and research university
founded by the American Jewish Community. Its membership is connected to
the University through fund raising and through activities that reflect the
values on which the University was founded: academic excellence, social
justice, non-sectarianism and service to the community.
.
Say:
Did you know that Alzheimer's disease alone affects 15 million
people worldwide? Maybe you or a family member or friend is one of
those people. As the population ages and this number increases, the
need for neurological and neurodegenerative disease research becomes
increasingly important.
Brandeis University researchers in over 50 laboratories are already
pioneering strides in the field of brain-related disorders, including
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and Autism. Scientists in the areas
of neurodevelopment, neurodevelopment disorders and
neurodegeneration are trying to understand the fundamental biological
processes underlying brain function. These Brandeis professors and
students are dedicated to the basic research that has already led to
breakthroughs in our understanding of neurological diseases. Educating
tomorrow's scientists is important; that's why investing in scientific
research and scholarships at Brandeis is an investment in the future.
Plus Brandeis is committed to ensuring that it meets the financial needs
of students doing outstanding work in science's fastest-growing arena.
We invite you to join the Brandeis National Committee's "Sustaining
the Mind: Scientific Research Campaign" to establish an important fund
to foster research in neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases. The
vision and determination of a cadre of loyal supporters like you will
help us reach our $3 million campaign goal and will ensure that
Brandeis researchers and students are able to excel in their fields of
study and make important advancements in neuroscience.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!
Happy
Anniversary!
Congratulations!
Get Well!

This group is a continuation from a previous registration, but there are still
some spaces available. If you have already registered for this Study Group, you do not have to sign up again.
Welcome to the new short stories session! We have a few new members who do not have our old
book. We have also been using that book for several years, so I feel we ALL need a break.
Therefore, I have chosen a new book, “Interpreter of Maladies,” by Jhumpa Lahiri. She is the author
of “The Namesake,” which was a readers’ favorite several years ago. It centers on the IndianAmerican experience, as that is the author’s background. There are nine stories. We will be reading
the first three for our first session on September 4, the next 3 on November 6, followed by the final
session on January 8. It is available on Tuebl http://tuebl.ca/download/32641. It is also available
on Amazon for $8.43.
