Brandeis National Committee

The Brandeis Men's Group (BMG) is a Los Angeles social group chartered under the Brandeis National Committee - Los Angeles Chapter (BNCLA).

The mission of the BMG is to raise awareness and support for Brandeis University by fundraising for scholarships and research in the fields of aging and other scientific endeavors. The group also exists to help 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.

Currently, on the third Wednesday of every month except July and August, this group of senior men, guests, and an invited speaker meet for a breakfast of lox and bagels at the Veterans Memorial Center in Culver City. Members come together for social and cultural reasons, and also to raise funds for research scholarships at Brandeis University. Our guest 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.

Presently, BMG members participate in various Special Interest Groups that 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 movie memorabilia at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts, print making at the Gemini GEL print workshop, a tour of the Nethercutt Automotive Museum (led by a BMG docent), a visit to Dodger Stadium, a tour of the newly-constructed SoFi football stadium, and Will Rogers State Park.

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