Women’s Club Happenings 34 North Shore Towers Courier n May 2016 NST Women’S Club Review—Rhyme In Time BY VICKI MAZEL NST WOMEN’S CLUB How can YOU get involved? Contact JULIE WEISSMAN at 718 423-3017 Photos by Dawn Steinberg APRIL: Beyond Downton Abbey On April 13th, the Women’s Club hosted a program on the popular TV series, led by Marilyn Carminio, noted publisher and former assistant to Helen Gurley Brown. The well-attended meeting traced the emergence of the upper crust from the Knickerbockers in New York, to its societal counterparts on the other side of the Atlantic. Ms. Carminio highlighted the mores, traditions, rules and leaders from the 1870’s through 1910. For all you Abbey fans, take heart. There is talk of a followup series being developed! Who knows what gossip lurks behind the potted palms in the VIP room? THE FUTURE: MARK YOUR CALENDARS What’s coming up for the Women’s Club?

Things would go well; we had a hunch, AUGUST: “Getting to Know You” brunch. More events, and for our fall start… SEPTEMBER, a museum to view some art. Lunches continued, ’twas a happy scene, Full house at Towers on the Green. OCTOBER’s speaker kept us in the loop, Advice ’bout stress to an overflow group. NOVEMBER sated our movie seekers, With Philip Harwood, film buff speaker. Closed 2015 and things were swinging, With a gala party of dancing and singing. JANUARY arrived and we kept exploring, With Terry Rabinowitz, never boring. She counseled on how to feel less tense, And spotlighted issues of confidence. FEBRUARY we addressed how to stay fit, With Yuliya Daveydova, physical therapist. MARCH we planned an interesting bill, But had to cancel—our speaker was ill. APRIL our programs was not too shabby, Marilyn Carminio on Downton Abbey. MAY’s the month your spine will tingle, It’s Jolly Fisherman for our May Mingle. More to come, don’t sing the blues. Make it happen and pay your dues. Join us and stay in the hub. Camaraderie with your Women’s Club. Gettin’ Downton with Marilyn Carminio “Tribute to Spring” luncheon will convene at the Jolly Fisherman in Roslyn The Women’s Club’s previous “Lunch Brunch” was a great success Anne Frank will be the focus of the talk on Thursday, June 16
