Dear Friends and Members,

We wanted you all to know that, if you have a special friend or know someone who wants to move to the Upper West Side of Manhattan starting on March 1, 2026, we have a home to share as a roommate. Our outstanding professional, Mandarin-and English-speaking roommate, is being transferred, so there is an excellent opportunity for the right, respectful person: a professional or a student, as we have had from Vice Presidents to students from Columbia, Fordham… sometimes for years in our beautiful backyard home. 

Since YOU, our Good News Community, are Peace lovers and friends, we wanted to reach out to you directly as we post it today. 

Here is our link for the post. Please call or text Paul at 917 687 1790 if you know someone.

When I read the following letter BELOW from Marc, it reminded me of the time in my life when I was Associate Prroducer of the Soap Opera,  on CBS TV, LOVE OF LIFE.  Christopher Reeves was an actor on our soap, a well respected professional and nice guy…we all loved him.  He represented strength,  humility and leadership when selected to be the next Superman we were proud and happy for him.  Last night, I attended a Jewelry Auction at the fantastic Sothebys in New York, thanks Gene:) it was a great experience and the photo for this post comes from Sothebys of the original Superman Costume that Chris wore.

I believe the words in the following letter sent to me by Marc represent Chris,  and Superman…both inspirational people who helped us all do better.  Thank you  .

From Beast  Mode Tuesday – Happy Tuesday !!
Some of us wouldn’t be here without that person.

The one who saw something in us before we saw it ourselves.

The one who didn’t just pat us on the back — they pushed us forward.

The one who looked us in the eye and said, “You’ve got this,” when we weren’t sure if we did.

It might have been a boss who took a chance on you when your résumé was thin and your confidence was thinner.

It might have been a spouse who said, “Go for it,” when you were staring down a career change that made no financial sense at the time.

It might have been a parent who sacrificed so you could have a better shot than they ever did.

It might have been a coach, a teacher, a mentor — someone who cared enough to light your fuse and walk away, trusting you’d figure out how to burn bright.
It also might be G-d who never gives up on us.

And here’s the truth…

Belief is the most valuable currency we’ll ever receive.

It doesn’t show up in your bank account, but it changes the way you walk into the world.

When someone believes in you, it forces you to measure up — not to their expectations, but to the potential they see in you.

It makes you push harder when you want to quit.

It makes you get back up faster when you’ve been knocked down.

It makes you carry yourself differently because you’re not just representing you anymore — you’re carrying the weight of their trust.

It’s about taking a breath and remembering who believed in you before the wins.

It’s about honoring that belief by showing up like a beast every single day, because you refuse to make them regret giving it to you.

So if you can, send that message.

Make the call.

Look them in the eye.

And say it without hesitation:

Thank you for believing in me.

Then, get back out there and prove they were right.

SAY THIS:

“I won’t waste the belief you’ve given me.”

CALL TO ACTION:

Tag the person who believed in you when it mattered most. Tell them what it meant. Then go out this week and make them proud.

But more importantly I believe in you my friend and the impact you will continue to make!

Blessings ;
Marc

ABOUT US: The legendary Apollo Theater—the soul of American culture—plays a vital role in cultivating emerging talents and launching legends. Since its founding, the Apollo has served as a center of innovation and a creative catalyst for Harlem, the city of New York, and the world.

With music at its core, the Apollo’s programming extends to dance, theater, performance art, spoken-word initiatives, and more. Recent highlights include James Brown: Get on the Good Foot, which began an international tour in 2015, the Africa Now! Festival and Apollo Club Harlem. The Apollo is a presenting organization that also produces festivals, large-scale dance and music works organized around a set of core initiatives: Apollo Music; Signature Programs—Amateur Night, Salon Series and the Apollo Music Café; Legacy Series, work that celebrates and extends the Apollo’s legacy through a contemporary lens; Global Festivals, international and U.S.-based artist presentations focused on a specific theme; and Special Projects, multidisciplinary work with partner organizations.

Since introducing the first Amateur Night contests in 1934, the Apollo Theater has served as a testing ground for new artists working across a variety of art forms, and has ushered in the emergence of many new musical genres—including jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, soul, and hip-hop. Among the countless legendary performers who launched their careers at the Apollo are D’Angelo, Lauryn Hill, Machine Gun Kelly, Miri Ben Ari, D’Angelo, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, and Stevie Wonder; and the Apollo’s forward-looking artistic vision continues to build on this legacy.

The Apollo Theater is a not-for-profit organization with the mission to extend the institution’s role in fostering artistic innovation and in building appreciation of American culture around the world. For more information, visit www.apollotheater.org

WHAT:
Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF), a nonprofit organization which remains steadfast in its commitment to identify and fund groundbreaking cancer research programs to save the lives of millions, hosted its annual gala at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, NY on Saturday, August 27, 2016. The event’s Challenge Research Award raised over $3.5 million in support of the foundation’s work.

The gala was hosted in support of the 12th Annual Charles Evans PCF Pro-Am Tennis Tournament being held from August 26 – 28, 2016, named after the successful entrepreneur who constantly turned tragic events throughout his life into philanthropic causes. The gala evening was a wonderful night of dining, dancing and filled with loads of surprises. The event featured special musical performances by Grammy award-winning singer Dianne Reeves, double platinum recording artist Billy Idol, and nationally recognized pop vocal group The Company Men, with a special performance by Francis Collins, Director of National Institutes of Health. 100 percent of the funds raised throughout the evening went to supporting groundbreaking discoveries in cancer research.

Notable attendees included: Michael & Lori Milken (Founder), Dianne Reeves (Performer), Billy Idol (Performer), The Company Men (Performers), Leon and Debra Black, Bonnie Pfeifer Evans, Ken and Maria Fishel, Jeff and Mei Sze Greene, Susan and John Kean, David and Julia Koch, Francine LeFrak, Rick Friedberg, Dr. Richard Merkin, Glenn and Jennifer Myles, Joel Pashcow, Artie and Selma Rabin, Jonathan and Sheryl Sokoloff, Lester Cook (Pro), Jonathan Erlich (Pro), Murphy Jensen (Pro), Scott Lipsky (Pro), Andreas Siljestrom (Pro), Mitch Modell, Frank Luntz, Dr. Jonathan W. Simons (President & CEO, Prostate Cancer Foundation), Dr. Francis Collins, Eric and Aerin Zinterhofer, Jim Coleman and Cynthia Ott, Dean and Roxanne Palin, Brent and Laura Nicklas, Bill Finneran, Lew and Rita Ranieri, Sally Quinn and Jackie Rogers.

The night began with a short quiz by the Founder of the Prostate Cancer Foundation Michael Milken, with guests curiously participating from their seats. Milken then introduced Jan Haber, PCF’s Vice President of Events, to the stage. Haber welcomed guests to the event and thanked them for supporting the very important work of the PCF, after which she introduced the evening’s first performer to the stage, Grammy-award winning singer Dianne Reeves, who performed a few of her celebrated jazz songs to the delight of the audience.

Reeves’ performance was followed by a short speech by Michael Milken on how far PCF has come since its founding, and how much of a difference the foundation’s work does. A video was shown highlighting the foundation’s progress and its aim to make prostate cancer an illness to “find in the history books”. Next, a few words were spoken by PCF’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jonathan W. Simons. Dr. Simons touched on the progress in gene research and how it has made it possible to identify the drivers behind the disease, in the fight against not only prostate cancer but all types of cancer.

The evening’s next performance was held by The Company Men, who performed a Motown medley, consisting of their interpretation of much loved songs by artists such as Simon & Garfunkel and Billy Joel. The vocal group had come all the way from Los Angeles to perform at the event, which they said they were honored to attend and being able to support. Following The Company Men was a surprise performance by the Director of National Institutes of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, who started off mentioning the nationwide cancer study that is currently being conducted in order to understand how to prevent and identify cancer risk factors at an early stage. Dr. Collins encouraged everyone to join in on this “unprecedented adventure”, before taking out his guitar for a surprise performance of Del Shannon’s “Runaway” in his own version, called “DNA”.

A live auction was also held to support a young scientist. Attendees were asked to donate $75,000 per year to support the research of a young scientist and his or her research in the fight toward prostate cancer. This was followed by an appearance by Mitch Modell, who presented the foundation with a check for $141,ooo on behalf of Modell’s Sporting Goods and all of its customers.

Michael Milken rounded up the evening’s lineup of performances and appearances by extending a heartfelt thank you to all performers, attendees, donors, hosts, pro tennis players and amateurs for making it an unforgettable evening in the support of finding a cure for prostate cancer. To top off the evening, a much anticipated musical performance was held by superstar Billy Idol, who kicked off his performance with crowd favorite “Cradle of Love”.

The Weekend’s Pro-Am Tennis Champions were: Ricky Sandler and Rick Leach, Alex Norcross and Alex Bogomolov Jr., Dick Merkin and Rohan Bopanna, Bill Finneran and Graydon Oliver. Finalists included: Mark Ein and Scott Lipsky, Marie Bernstein and Santiago Gonzalez, Ralph Finerman and Jonathan Erlich, Sammy Herzberg and Jonathan Schneider.

A silent auction was also held, including select items such as A Getaway to a Private Villa in Bali, sports memorabilia such as a signed plaque and boxing glove of legend Muhammad Ali and a signed Michael Jordan jersey, original photographs of Coco Chanel with model Jackie Rogers, as well as exclusive photographs of icons Prince, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Mick Jagger.
