Brian Nishinaga, an MS II at Einstein:

Albert Einstein’s Christian Fellowship would like to invite you to:
Who: Intermed!
What: Trip to the world renowned Bronx Zoo
When: Saturday Oct. 25th from 1 pm - 4 pm (or whenever you want to be there) The zoo is open from 10am - 5:30 pm and admission is $15.
Why: bc people don’t realize that the bronx offers more than J-Lo and Dunkin’ Donuts

If everyone could please try to get there around 1 pm, then we can randomly split up the different schools into different groups so that peoples can get to know one another instead of clumping together in your school fellowships. Plan on eating lunch beforehand and perhaps we can arrange dinner options at local restaurants for those who are interested.

the website, in case you want to check out what’s going on is:

Access to the zoo is via the Bx12 which you can get to by taking the 1 train to 207th street.

Please forward this email to your respective fellowships and pass the word on to anyone who is interested! Contact me at bnishina(at)aecom.yu.edu to RSVP or if you want more details.

Approximately 60 students and 3 attendings from Columbia, Cornell, Mount Sinai, New York COM, New York Medical College (NYMC), New York University (NYU), Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ), Sophie Davis, SUNY-Downstate, and Touro COM, attended this gathering held in Riverbank State Park. We were blessed by a brisk but sunny October day. Worship was led by a couple students and then David Chen from RWJ helped break the ice by having everyone introduce themselves and then have us spray each other with silly string! After grace was said by Dr. Ako Tabetah, a picnic lunch was served. Group photos of those attending were taken and those present broke off to fellowship with each other. Dr. Ali Ko offered spiritual support to the students as well as opportunities to meet with Christian Attendings.

Vinitha Jacob says:

Dr. Katherine Grimm (voluntary faculty in Pediatrics), whom many of you met on Wednesday, has graciously offered to host a dinner for the Sinai and Cornell fellowships on Saturday, September 27th at 5pm. It will be at her home on Roosevelt Island. Unfortunately, I will be away that weekend and won’t be able to attend, but I do encourage you all to go if you can. Please RSVP directly to her at 212.751.4737 (kteetsgrimm@gmail.com).
