To be a good Pythian, you
can’t just utter the words
“friendship, charity &
benevolence”, you have to
live by them.
Dear Brothers:
It was a great year; it was a terrible year. Yes, we had some horrid weather, but
that is behind us. But we did not let that stop us from partying and planning
exciting events. Our Valentine’s Party was a huge success as was our
Hunterdon Dinner-Theater trip. Over 50 brothers enjoyed our free Pre-meeting
Chinese dinner on April 22nd.
Although my year is winding down, as they say, “the best is yet to come”. We
still have our OPEN BINGO on 5/16, Alpha-Genesis Foundation’s May 30th
Atlantic City trip, and on June 6th we have a BBQ Dinner Buffet at Hudson
River Yacht Club with entertainment by the Accords. We also have our June
24th OPEN Installation of Officers at AOH Hall (our new home next year)
On the Pythian front, the Diabetes Golf Tournament is on June 13th at Riis
Park. We are also subsidizing attendance to the Grand Chancellor’s Dinner on
June 20th at the exquisite Temple Avodah in Oceanside (for our Majestic Lodge
brother, Sir Robert Ross) and we celebrate our ladies by subsidizing attendance
to the Grand Chief’s Dinner (for our own sister, Cindy Nathanson) on June
15th at Il Fornetto Restaurant in Sheepshead Bay.
Let me also remind you that our elections start on May 13th with 1st Nominations
of Officers. That meeting will be followed by the Genesis Benevolent elections
for several Board of Directors positions. Lodge elections will take place at
our June 3rd meeting.
And lastly (but NEVER lastly), this month we honor those fallen men and women
of our Armed Services on Memorial Day. Their ultimate sacrifice is the reason
we wake up each morning, free!
Fraternally yours,

INSURANCE MYTH: I don’t need Renter’s insurance because my Landlord’s insurance covers my apartment.
FALSE: Your landlord’s insurance insures “his” building and “his” liability. It does no
nott cover “your” personal property or
“your” liability. Some common examples, (1) you would be liable for structural and/or water damage to your landlord’s property
if your tub, sink, washing machine or dishwasher overflowed –or— (2) if someone fell in your apartment and was injured. Also,
can you afford to lay out the large lawyer fees to defend yourself? Renter’s insurance protects “you”, not only by providing
coverage in the event of an award, but to pay the lawyers!
YOUR CAR WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED if you use the new E-15 gas in your BMW, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler, Ford,
Honda, Hyundai, KIA, VW or Mercedes vehicles (and the list is growing) per AAA. The government is pushing this new fuel, but
testing shows the fuel can damage critical engine parts.
