It’s Happening in Dorchester

No, we are not pulling your leg as an April Fools joke. You should have set you clocks ahead and gained some more beautiful Florida sunshine … and spring will be here very soon! And so will the IRS to get your taxes. Albert Einstein said: “The hardest thing in the world to understand is income tax.”

But, among the good things happening here in Dorchester are the following:

– Phyllis and Sy Goldstein’s granddaughter, Brook Sabghir, was married Mar. 13th. She married a young attorney from Cleveland who works for a prestigious NYC law firm. Congratulations to the bride and groom and their grandparents.

– Congratulations also, to David Hollander for being elected to the Aberdeen BOD. We know he will be an asset.

– If you were among those who watched this year’s Oscars on TV, you may have seen the Barons daughter, Tracy Beckerman and her husband, Joel, on the red carpet. They were there because Joel is working on a project for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. He is the celebrated composer for the corporate world with its sonic logos and for so much of what you hear on television every day.

– Dorchester held its annual meeting and election of BOD officers on Mar. 8th. Those elected to the board were Don Applebaum, Carol Baron, David Hollander, Steve Lippert, Jon Shaw, Beverly Zimmerman and Don Zide. The officers of the BOD are: Steve Lippert, President; Beverly Zimmerman, Vice President; Carol Baron, Secretary; Jon Shaw, Treasurer; Don Applebaum, Director, David Hollander, Director and Don Zide, Director.

They will work to make Dorchester an Aberdeen community that is responsive to the needs of its residents while being cost effective, beautiful and friendly to all. We would like to take this opportunity to remind all those who live here in Dorchester, as well as our guests and visitors, that there is a 20 mile an hour speed limit here. That is for the safety of all of us. We hope you will follow this rule.

In closing, I would like to remind you of what 90-year-old Regina Brett said and she wasn’t talking about tax audits: “Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it.”
