LCM ALUMNI WEBSITE Last year we initiated a new LCM alumni website, designed to publicize job opportunities, mazel tov's, alumni events, and other important information relevant to LCM alumni. Hopefully, this website can become a tremendous networking opportunity, but ultimately it is dependent on our alumni. We hope that all alumni will contribute to making this website a true success - keep your ears perked and email us about job openings in your company, an engagement or new baby celebrated by an alumnus, or anything else you would like to share with your fellow alumni. Please check us out at LCMalumni.blogspot.com. IF YOU KNOW ANY LCM ALUMNI PERSONAL NEWS, JOB OPENINGS, OR WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT SOMETHING, PLEASE EMAIL THE SITE ADMINISTRATOR, EZZIE GOLDISH, AND HE WILL BE HAPPY TO POST THE INFORMATION ON YOUR BEHALF.

Aryeh Young Director of Alumni Affairs aryeh.young@touro.edu 718-820-5050 (office) 516-512-4494 (cell) Pre-Yom Kippur Event Huge Success On Thursday night the LCM Alumni Association hosted its first event of the year. Almost sixty alumni gathered at the home of Dani and Tamar Allen for inspirational words of chizuk from the Mashgiach and Rabbi Soloveitchik, as well as, a gourmet, all-you-can-eat smorgasbord from Carlos and Gabby's. All of New York City five boroughs were properly represented, with alumni attending from Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx. In addition to the shiurim and scrumptious dinner, many alumni enjoyed the opportunity to socialize and network with old, but not-forgotten, friends of the past. A wonderful time was had by all, and as one alumnus noted, "it was amazing to see alumni from every single graduating class in attendance together." Thank you to Dani and Tamar Allen, Eytan and Tamar Rosenbaum, as well as, G & I Bakery, for graciously sponsoring our first event of the year. The New-and-Improved LCM Alumni Discount Cards The new LCM Alumni Discount Cards have already been ordered. This year's card will feature almost 60 stores - almost triple the amount of last year's vendors. We are currently working to expand our list of vendors to Brooklyn, Five Towns, and Manhattan. We will continue to announce added vendors throughout the year. All cards will be available for evening pick-up during the second week of October. Exact pick-up times and dates will be announced shortly. Please stay tuned!

Over two-hundred and fifty people attended Rosh Hashana davening, and almost FOUR HUNDRED people will be packed into our Beis Medrash on Yom Kippur. Each and every table and aisle is already filled to the brim, and seating is now officially closed. We look forward to seeing you on Yom Kippur and may all of our tefillos be answered l'tova.

LCM Alumni Basketball Team is Now Filled The inaugural LCM Alumni Basketball team is beginning its first season in the LCM intramurals. Although perhaps, a bit older and not as in shape as their younger counterparts, the alumni team fully expects to bring home the championship showing the current students that they still have what it takes. The team is led by alumni co-captains, Zvi Schonbach and Eytan Rosenbaum. Hatzlacha! Mashgiach's Alumni Shiur to Resume After Succos All alumni are warmly invited to the Mashgiach's Wednesday night parsha shiur. The shiur is designed specifically for alumni and provides former students with the opportunity to connect with the Mashgiach and old friends, while enjoying insightful and thought-provoking ideas related to the weekly parsha. Come and enjoy! The shiur takes place at LCM and will resume the Wednesday after succos.

Shabbaton Update

The planning for the Lander Alumni Shabbaton is well underway, and we'll be putting up more details about what exactly will be happening that weekend in the near future. This Monday, a number of Council members got together in Aryeh Young's luxurious office at Lander and made dozens of phone calls to alumni to tell them about the Shabbaton. The calls were very successful, and close to 60 alumni and their families have already committed to attending the Shabbaton; please pass the word along to all your friends as we'd like to get as many alumni as possible to kick off the first major event of the Lander Alumni! We need to know as soon as possible who will be coming so we can determine housing and meals for everyone, and to keep costs low.

As a reminder, the Shabbaton is $30 for single alumni, $60 for a couple, and $65 for a family.

For more details or to reserve, please contact Aryeh Young at aryeh.young@touro.edu (or LCMAlumni@gmail.com) or any members of the Shabbaton committee: Suchi Hornung, Ariel Kapitnikoff, David Manheim, and Moshe Ornstein.
