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.

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.

Chag Sameach

From all of us on the Lander Alumni Council, have a wonderful Chag Sameach! Anyone who is in the neighborhood is more than welcome to come by Lander to learn leil Shavuos.

Tonight's event l'iluy nishmas Aliza Shull a'h was a beautiful and inspiring success, starting with a drasha from the Mashgiach R' Moshe Bamberger, followed by strong words of chizuk from Gabi Shull regarding Aliza and her desire to stop all forms of machlokes, in addition to his campaign to have a sefer Torah written in her memory. The evening was capped by the always great R' Paysach Krohn, who touched on Gabi's point with his array of shmuessim and stories while emphasizing the need for showing kavod to one another, especially as we head into Shavuos.

We hope to have the video from TorahAnytime.com within a few weeks and thank them for recording the event.

Program L'iluy Nishmas Aliza Shull (R' Paysach Krohn)

This coming Wednesday evening, erev Shavuos, May 27th at 8:00pm there will be a program dedicated in the memory of Aliza Shull, a'h. The speakers will be R' Paysach Krohn and Gabi Shull; the program is sponsored by the LCM Office of Alumni Affairs and Friends of Gabi Shull.

No Buses in Lander

But that doesn't mean Lander can't take part in brilliant inventions:

If Eric Forkosh has his way, the days of waiting on a street corner for the school bus to arrive will become a relic of the past. Forkosh, a junior at Rambam Mesivta High School in Lawrence, L.I., created Bus Alert!, a handheld unit that uses radio signals to alert students and parents when the school bus is arriving.

The 16-year-old entrepreneur came up with the concept while waiting for 15 minutes in the icy cold, only to discover that he had missed the bus. “There has to be a better way to go about it,” he thought to himself.

On a recent evening in February, Forkosh presented the Bus Alert! working prototype that he built himself to a panel of judges at the first annual Gryfe-Levy Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The competition was held at Touro College’s Graduate School of Business in Lower Manhattan and sponsored by Touro’s Lander College for Men division.

The Bus Alert! business plan won Forkosh the grand prize of $1,500, beating out 14 other finalists from eight yeshiva high schools in the New York metropolitan area.
