Greetings Everyone
Wellworth is having a wonderful year. Our study
groups are flourishing, membership is up, and we
have already begun to plan for next season’s
programs. Let me tell you what’s going on.
Hard to believe, but our chapter is ten years old. As a
result, we’re having a celebration. It will be a
luncheon at Benvenuto on Friday, March 20. The
Famous Ladies Theater Company will entertain us
with their take on the lives of Ann Landers and Dear
Abby. Debby Gershon is the point person for this
event.
Just the day before, on Thursday, March 19, there will
be a membership tea at 10:00 a.m. at the home of
Linda Greenhill in Valencia Shores. Tell your non-
member friends. If they join Wellworth at the tea,
they will receive a 15 month membership for the price
of a 12 month membership.
This June marks the final push for the Sustaining the
Mind campaign. The goal is $3 million; we are at
$2.3 million now. This campaign funds research into
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s,
ALS, Parkinson’s, and autism. There’s still room for
your contribution.
And finally, congratulations to Wellworth’s past
president, Ronnie Gerstein, who will take the helm as
the BNC Florida regional president in April.
Best wishes,
Carol Rosenbaum

BITS & PIECES
PHYLLIS LEDERMAN
Happy birthday to Wellworth/Westend Chapter! We’re now 10 years old and we have always
been active participants in the ‘Sustaining the Mind’ campaign’. The campaign is now 3 years
old, and it has just reached the 2.3 million mark. The campaign’s ultimate goal is to raise three
million dollars for research and treatment for a whole array of brain-related disorders; such as
Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, autism, epilepsy and MS.
Some exciting innovations are occurring in the field of neuro-science today. These scientific
changes affect everyone and everything with a brain and a nervous system. Recently everyone
was taking the ‘ice bucket challenge’ to raise money and awareness for ALS. Dr. Robal, assis-
tant professor of biology at Brandeis University said, ‘the ice bucket challenge
showed empathy can be infectious which is a very good positive thing’. Brandeis has been
instrumental in developing techniques that will be utilized by the Blazeman Foundation; an
organization involved with the funding for research and treatment of ALS.
Research will lead to a break-through in understanding and treatment of these diseas-
es. ‘Sustaining the Mind ‘ is an investment in tomorrow’s scientists and treatment of these
neuro-degenerative diseases.
Membership
