Brandeis National Committee

The Los Angeles chapter of BNC primarily includes members in Beverly Hills, Culver City, Los Angeles, Marina Del Rey, and Santa Monica. The Brandeis Men's Group (BMG) is a subgroup of the chapter.  

The chapter raises awareness and support for Brandeis University by fundraising for scholarships and research in the fields of aging and other scientific endeavors. The Men's Group also helps men move from the workplace into a social and intellectual society through new friendships, fellowship, interest groups, and social justice awareness. Among its members are lawyers, educators, judges, businessmen, doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs.

On the third Wednesday of every month except July and August, members and their guests meet for a breakfast of lox and bagels, with a guest speaker, at the Veterans Memorial Center in Culver City. Speakers in the past have included Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, TV weatherman Fritz Coleman, journalist Bill Boyarsky, and actor Ed Asner, to name a few.

Special interest groups include chess, legal issues, sports, opera study, current events, history, a walking group, classic films, etc. Weather permitting, we also organize trips to destinations in the greater Los Angeles area, which have included the Academy of Motion Picture Arts, the Gemini GEL print workshop, the Nethercutt Automotive Museum (led by a BMG docent), Dodger Stadium, the SoFi football stadium, and Will Rogers State Park.

So, while it may be challenging, who says retirement can't be fun?
