One of the greatest things about being a member of the Gotham Tribe is the opportunity you have for utilizing your skills to create events that everyone can enjoy. Things like the Golf Outing, the Battle of the Bands, Highline Tours, were all created out of members ideas and their collaboration. These celebrations have been wonderful times for all …
Gatherings serve many purposes. Discussed one last week. There were two this weekend. One tested me a bit since the bat in the rear of my car failed to see the light of day in slightly more than a year. The other represented a test of connection and how things endure despite distance in time and place. Technology prevailed in both cases; it fac …

This is a re-working of my blog from November 2015. Still true. I needed the reminder. The greatest gift Gotham gives us is the gift of interaction, engagement and participation with our fellow Gothamites. It reveals who we truly are and what we truly want. A gift unique to Gotham, that you can create events based on your interests, just be prepare …

Gotham City Networking, Inc.®’s co-founder calls our Gotham Green® group, The Change The World Group. Easy to adopt that description. I often talk about the need to make a difference and as this month began – literally – on December 1, 2016, Gotham Green® announced the recipients of our Gotham Green Awards®. I kept thinking about a song that on …
I enjoy recognizing those who make a difference in our communities and the world by celebrating people and organizations, who work in ways big and small; for-profit and not-for-profit, to make our world a little greener. It helps explain my role as co-chair of GOtham Green®; it provides a platform for businesses and professionals who seek to connec …
This past Friday during lunch in Princeton, my friend architect extraordinaire Josh Zinder asked each attendee to share a story. Since the next Friday (September 23) marks a special anniversary of sorts, I shared how I met Fred C. Klein or perhaps how Fred met me. A version of that story, perhaps the definitive one, appears in the March 2016 …
Almost three years ago (1084 days ago according to this website) I blogged about my glove and giving it up to Marisa in LA. I felt its "loss" last summer at the Gotham City Networking Inc.® Picnic and Softball game at Plainview-Old Bethpage Park. I played 2B in our intra-tribal softball game with a glove borrowed from Ben Geizhals; very kind of B …

Thursday on …
I was talking to another Gothamite, the wonderful Sonia Saleh, about what Gotham means to us and how we view it. We came up with the concept of Gotham as Playground. Not to belittle the all the great work that is done within the Gotham Tribe, a playground to me is a place to try out new ideas, engage with like minded (and not-so-like-minded) people …
I am searching for a new home. No, not a new apartment, a new Gotham home. My former home, the lovely Commerce group, had to fade away. So now I'm on the search. I asked Fred what his favorite group was. You know what he said. Monday I visited the MAD (Make A Difference) group, thanks to the encouragement of the wonderful Sonia Saleh (www.uplifting …
Gotham offers tremendous resources to members who seize the opportunities. It fascinates this observer who in our tribe uses the “devices” and how. I also enjoy using – and sharing information through these means. I welcome the feedback I invariably receive. Today (aka “Promo Tuesday”), depending on your point of view, we look forward to and/ …
One thing really nice about our tribe involves what I like to call proximity to action. One often sees things on the news and might ponder how might one effect change or make an impact. Many of us can seize such an opportunity courtesy of our tribe – Gotham affords just that. Many examples exist but let me share one available when Gotham GREE …
