Dear Friends and Members, 

Why do I say that, “It’s not easy to be good, but truly worth it?” Because to be good it’s all about EVERYONE ELSE, NOT YOURSELF. For example, when you give someone your seat…you now have to stand, when you walk someone across the street…you might be delayed to where you are going…when you volunteer…you can’t do something else with your time…BUT IN ALL THESE SITUATIONS AND MORE…you gain respect for yourself and respect from the ones you helped and RESPECT AND HONOR IS A BLESSING.

Sean Mendelson Shares the Legacy of “Peanuts” and a Message of Global Harmony on “Good News Broadcast” with Reverend Paul Sladkus

(New York, NY – November 2025) — The spirit of timeless storytelling and global unity came together when Sean Mendelson, musician, voice actor, and son of the legendary Peanuts producer Lee Mendelson, appeared on “Good News Broadcast” with Reverend Paul Sladkus, founder of Good News Corporation and creator of International Peace Day in Times Square. The inspiring conversation celebrated 75 years of Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts”, a comic strip that has shaped generations with its humor, heart, and emotional intelligence — and explored how art, music, and media can inspire positive change in the world today.

During the segment, Sean reflected on the enduring power of Peanuts, a cultural touchstone produced by his father, Lee Mendelson, who brought the beloved characters to television alongside composer Vince Guaraldi, whose jazz compositions defined the sound of childhood for millions. Sean, who as a child voiced several Peanuts characters in the original series, continues to carry the torch alongside his brother Jason Mendelson, overseeing Lee Mendelson Film Productions and reissuing rare soundtracks that preserve the franchise’s emotional and historical legacy.

Reverend Paul Sladkus — a pioneer of uplifting media — founded Good News Corporation and has dedicated over 25 years to promoting kindness, peace, and environmental responsibility through his annual International Peace Day Celebration in Times Square every September 21. This world-recognized event gathers artists, humanitarians, and activists to advocate for unity, love, and global understanding.

In a fitting extension of that mission, after the interview Reverend Sladkus and Sean Mendelson discussed their upcoming participation in Earth Day Times Square on April 22, an event dedicated to raising awareness about climate change, sustainability, and the importance of protecting the planet. Sean and Jason Mendelson have been invited to join the festivities, representing the Peanuts legacy — which has long championed empathy, environmental appreciation, and the simple beauty of human connection.

As the Peanuts franchise celebrates its 75th anniversary, the Mendelson family continues to share its enduring message: that laughter, love, and compassion can make the world a better place. Through programs like Good News Broadcast, International Peace Day, and Earth Day Times Square, both Sean Mendelson and Reverend Paul Sladkus carry forward the legacy of storytelling and service that uplifts humanity.

Age only becomes a limitation when we stop growing, stop contributing, or stop aspiring toward something greater. Why confine ourselves with pity titles about age and self-worth? Live with vitality at every stage – giving our best, focusing on what we can control, inspiring, and serving. Blessings, Marc

If you see someone

falling behind, walk

beside them.  If you

see someone being

ignored, find a way to

include them.  Always

remind people of

their worth.  One

small act could mean

the world to them.

*Technical Support: Yes, how can I help you?*

*Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install* *Love. *
*Can you guide me through the process?*

*Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?*

*Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?*

*Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. *
*Have you located your Heart?*

*Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.*
*Is it okay to install Love while they are running?*

*Tech Support: What programs are running?*

*Customer: *
*Let’s see, *
*I have Past Hurt, *
*Low Self-Esteem, *Grudge, *
*and Resentment running right now.*

*Tech Support: *
*No problem, *
*Love will gradually *erase Past Hurt from your current *operating system. *
*It may remain in your permanent memory but will no long disrupt other programs. *
*Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. *
*However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. *
*Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. *
*Can you turn those off?*

*Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. *
*Can you tell me how?*

*Tech Support: *
*With pleasure.*
*Go to your start menu and select Forgiveness. *
*Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.*

*Customer: *
*Okay, done! *
*Love has started installing itself. ***Oops! I have an* *error message* *already. *
*It says, “Error- Program not run on external components.” *
*What should I do?*

*Tech Support: Don’t worry. *
*In nontechnical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others. *
*Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: *
*Forgive Self, *
*Realize Your Worth, and Acknowledge Your Limitations.*

*Customer: *
*Got it. Hey! *
*My heart is filling up with new files. *
*Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over my Heart. *
*Is this normal?*

*Tech Support: Yes, that means Love is installed and running. *
*One more thing before we hang up. This Love program is freeware. *

*You’re welcome to share it with others. *

_*Please pass it along!*_

Imagine! Comedians actually got through a routine without using the “F” word.

WHILE JEWISH PEOPLE MAKE UP ABOUT 2% OF THE U.S. POPULATION, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THEY MADE UP 50% OF THE FAMOUS COMEDIANS

You may remember the old Jewish Comics:

Shecky Greene, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Joey Bishop, Milton Berle, Jan Murray, Danny Kaye, Henny Youngman, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx, Jackie Mason, Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, George Burns, Allan Sherman, Jerry Lewis, Carl Reiner, Shelley Berman, Gene Wilder, George Jessel, Alan King, Mel Brooks, Phil Silvers, Jack Carter, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, Jack Benny, Sid Caesar, and so many others.

There was not one single swear word in their comedy. Here are a few examples:

* I just got back from a pleasure trip.
I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

* I’ve been in love with the same woman for 49 years!
If my wife ever finds out, she’ll kill me!

* What are three words a woman never wants to hear when she’s making love?
“Honey, I’m home!”

* Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won’t be reporting it.
The thief spends less than my wife did.

* We always hold hands.
If I let go, she shops.

* My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night.
Only this time I stayed in the bathroom and cried.

* My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed.
My wife called it the Dead Sea.

* She was at the beauty shop for two hours.
That was only for the estimate.

* She got a mudpack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.

* The Doctor gave a man six months to live.
The man couldn’t pay his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months.

* The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, “Mrs. Cohen, your check came back.”
Mrs. Cohen answered, “So did my arthritis!”

* Doctor: “You’ll live to be 60!”
Patient: “I am 60!”
Doctor: “See! What did I tell you?”

* Patient: “I have a ringing in my ears.”
Doctor: “Don’t answer it!”

* A drunk was in front of a judge.
The judge says, “You’ve been brought here for drinking.”
The drunk says “Okay, let’s get started.”

* Why do Jewish divorces cost so much?
They’re worth it.

* The Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why Jewish women like Chinese food so much. The study revealed that this is due to the fact that Won Ton spelled backward is Not Now.

*There is a big controversy on the Jewish view of when life begins.
In Jewish tradition, the fetus is not considered viable until it graduates from medical school.

Q: Why don’t Jewish mothers drink?

A: Alcohol interferes with their suffering.

Q: Why do Jewish mothers make great parole officers?
A: They never let anyone finish a sentence!

A man called his mother in Florida, “Mom, how are you?”
“Not too good,” said the mother. “I’ve been very weak.”
The son said, “Why are you so weak?”
She said, “Because I haven’t eaten in 38 days.”
The son said, “That’s terrible. Why haven’t you eaten in 38 days?”
The mother answered, “Because I didn’t want my mouth to be filled with food if you should call.”

A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play.
She asks, “What part is it?”
The boy says, “I play the part of the Jewish husband.”
The mother scowls and says, “Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part.”

Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: (Sigh) “Don’t bother. I’ll sit in the dark. I don’t want to be a nuisance to anybody.”

Did you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said, “Lady, I haven’t eaten in three days.”
“Force yourself,” she replied.

Q: What’s the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother?
A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.

Q: Why are Jewish men circumcised?
A: Because Jewish women don’t like anything that isn’t 20% off.
