So What's The Story With "Pain And Glory"?
Up for movie review, “Pain and Glory”
was the Cinema Club’s most recent selection.
Written and directed by Pedro
Almodovar, the movie stars Antonio Banderas
as a noted filmmaker and follows his life, quirks,
ailments and, most of all, his genius.
Almodovar’s contribution to international
filmmaking is well known in cinema circles and
he has been made president of the Cannes Film
Festival. Mr. Banderas was awarded Best Actor
at Cannes for his role in the film.
Reviewers Vicki Mazel and Dr. Nurit Israeli
provided discussion and analysis of the film’s
impact. The well attended review session
attested to the popularity of the film with its
explosive graphics coupled with award winning
performances.
Come to our next review session - it›s open
to all residents.

Bring In the Olde -
Keep out the Blue
(A New Year’s poem for our members)
Women’s Club had a really good year,
Starting off January with lots of cheer.
We did a lot through winter and spring,
So many programs - we do our thing.
That will always be our goal,
Like learning laws from Professor Coll.
And the profs from St. Johns with their
schtick,
Howard Ehrlich and Harvey Sackowitz.
The year unfolded with work and conjectures,
Planning trips, luncheons and lectures.
Nassau Museum was one of our venues,
And the Jolly Fisherman with special menus.
Bussed to theaters as the program grows,
Special dinner at wonderful Umberto’s.
Marilyn Carminio added much to our list,
And our workshops were really hard to resist.
We had Italian Night to keep in the hub,
And now we have the Cinema Club.
A steering committee that really steers
And a program group does much for peers.
Now it’s time for a brand new start,
Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
Here’s to our members in 2020,
We wish you all good health a-plenty!!!!!!

BY PRESIDENT BOBBY GOULD
On Thursday, December 12, members
of North Shore Towers Women’s Club

at the Polo Club in Boca Raton, Florida.Twenty
one members enjoyed being with old friends
and meeting new ones.
After lunch we all gathered together to spend
time to share more about ourselves. Pretty soon,
people were exchanging phone numbers and
even a bridge group was formed.
In addition, it was announced that
on Thursday, February 27, members will
meet at the Morikami Museum. At 10am we
will have a docent-led tour of the exhibition
of how Japanese animated films are made,
which are so popular today. Four science
fiction short films will be shown, followed by
a short tour of the beautiful gardens. There
will be plenty of time to see a movie about
the museum and shop in their marvelous gift
shop.
Lunch will be served at 11:30am in a room
with a great view overlooking the lake and
gardens. The meal will be bento boxes, which
will include a great assortment of foods, iced
tea and dessert. A vegetarian bento box is also
available upon request.
