Before we knew what eHarmony was, we had real matchmakers, like the one in Fiddler on the Roof.  The Yenta - a Jewish matchmaker knew the candidates and their families providing advice based on more than just what two young people think they want.  It was the Yenta’s responsibility to make sure that the marriage suggested would truly be harmonious.  Matchmaking as an art and profession is still useful today.  Imagine a dating service with no questionnaires, quizzes, long e-mails, nor exchange of photos.  Imagine being able to find your ‘soul mate’ without having to hit the bar or the internet.

Do you wonder what it is like for a modern day Yenta?  Then register for SynRG2010.

This year, we are planning to have a fascinating speaker - a real Jewish matchmaker.  These days the term Yenta has taken on negative connotations as it is usually describing a “busybody” - a meddlesome woman who passionately runs around chatting with people to make matches.  How interesting her life must be?!

Even if you are not looking for a new love, find out what makes good friends, good romance, or good to great ‘soul mates’.  At the very least, you will find ways of reinventing yourself.  REGISTER NOW for SynRG2010 and be enriched by the rare treasure found in the wisdom of a Yenta. Remember the days of old and enter the new decade with new knowledge and thoughts.  Experience SynRG2010 -The Times They-Are-A-Changin’!

Now that the new board and the new website have taken flight, we need a new bird, not the same old owl but a wise and unique one that represents the Gulf Coast Chapter.  Your Assistant Local Secretary would like to announce a LOGO CONTEST...

"We are looking for all of your creative M’s to put your artistic skills into action and incorporate the mascot of Mensa (the owl) and your impression of what the Gulf Coast means to you!"
