A NDY B ERKE
FROM THE
OUTGOING
PRESIDENT
It’s been my great pleasure to serve as President this
year. We had a snowy start to our Winter Bulletin’s
activities but I think you will find that those cancelled
events have been re-scheduled.
We are so fortunate to have a wonderful group of
women on our Board. They had to do a lot of
“pitching in” to be sure that events went on
smoothly. Special thanks to Helen Divak, Thelma
Wilkofsky & Eleanor Edelstein.
Our Book & Author luncheon was a rousing success.
We had a robust turnout, a lovely meal and a spectacular presentation by author Alyson Richman. Kudos go
to Anne Paszamant and her team. The proceeds from
the luncheon went to the Sustaining the Mind campaign. The chapter also made a contribution to STM in
memory of long-time Board Member, Sylvia Koss. Note
that proceeds from several activities in this bulletin are
designated as Sustaining the Mind events.
I wish Linda Gershen & Caryl Distel much success &
love as they take the reins of the presidency. We
look forward to their leadership, and we encourage
you to join the leadership team.

MESSAGE
FALL
CARYL DISTEL (L)
LINDA GERSHEN (R)
Overheard on a Brandeis trip: “Every day I choose to be happy.”
How lucky we are to lead a group of strong, intelligent, friendly and caring
women! How lucky we are to belong to Brandeis National Committee—
an organization that reflects the values of Brandeis University:
• Academic excellence that parallels our life-long love of learning,
evidenced by fundraising efforts to support Brandeis libraries,
scholarships and fellowships;
• Social justice that parallels our award-winning program and
demonstrates the value of service to the community;
• Research, particularly “Sustaining the Mind”, which seeks a cure
for neurodegenerative diseases that parallels our commitment
to searching for ways to improve the lives of our members and others.
How lucky we are to be the Middlesex Chapter with:
• Women who have similar interests and shared values
• Leaders who work to plan and implement stimulating activities
• Members who look forward to and appreciate the myriad study groups,
trips and special events revealed in our Bulletins
How lucky we are that like-minded women seek out and join our
chapter with fresh ideas and a willingness to contribute by being active
and involved, thereby helping us grow.
How lucky we are to have strangers become friends, who enjoy the
good times with us and hold our hands in the not so good times.
See you at Hot Topics!
Every day let us choose to be happy as we move forward together.

We’re repeating our popular jazz at noon outing at the Newark Museum!
Relax in the award-winning museum garden and listen to the beautiful

docent-led tours of its permanent collection just for us. We will
visit the African Collection, one of the nation’s oldest and most
comprehensive, representing the breadth, diversity and vitality of
artistic creativity throughout the continent. Next, explore the meaning and symbolism of water throughout the Arts of Asia. End the day with dinner and Sangria at
Casa Vasca in the Ironbound – a perfect setting to discuss the music, art and
multicultural spirit of the day. The proceeds from this trip are dedicated to the

own merit as an artist? She was a famous artist’s wife who also painted in an artistic
style that some defined as masculine. Hear a stimulating presentation about Krasner
by our returning art historian Barbara Tomlinson. You may also explore this artist’s
