CLUBS

 

YIDDISH HERITAGE CLUB – Glenn Todd

To all residents and your friends:

The Yiddish Heritage Club will be holding its first meeting of the new season on Friday October 9th at one PM in the clubhouse.

NON-FICTION BOOK CLUB – Allan Trust Ctrust371@comcast.net

Meetings start at 11AM, in the clubhouse. Newcomers always welcome.

Our next meetings feature the following books:

*October 13th- “The JFK Conspiracy- Summary & Anxieties”- Brad Meltzer & Josh Mensch- Cliff Guinyard. There was a little barely reported upon assassination attempt on Pres-Elect JFK between election Day 1960, and his inauguration in January. The book is a riveting account of the failed attempt by a mentally unbalanced loner with an anti-Catholic fixation and his belief that he alone could save America. 

* November 10th - We'll present three books about the area that became the State of Florida. Literally 200 years ago, it was a tropical climate wilderness, of waterways, and swamps, alligators and mosquitoes.

 It's sparse population was native American Indians, mostly Seminoles. Yet today, Florida is the 3rd most populated State in the country. 

The 3 books we will reference are : 

“The Last Train to Paradise”, by Les Standiford

“Flagler-Rockefeller Partner and Florida Baron” by Edward N. Akin

“Henry Flagler- Visionary Of The Gilded Age”- Sidney Walter Martin

Reading a book is recommended, but not required.

A number of club members will lead the discussion.

All 3 books are available at the Hagen Ranch Road Library.

*December 8th- “Breaking the Age Code- How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long And How Well You Will Live”- Becca Levy PhD-   Ron Pollock. The author, a leading authority on how beliefs about aging influence our health and well-being, provides practical and proven methods to help older adults develop more positive views of their lives and to inspire all of us to stand up against the scourge of ageism. A "Must Read".
