Men's Club Breakfast
In-Person
Join us for the first breakfast of this year. Our speaker this month is John Baltisberger (see below). He will be appearing via Zoom from Austin Texas. As always, there will be bagels and lox, coffee and camaraderie. Not a member, not a problem! Come anyhow and join after. This is the in-person RSVP. For Zoom, see the next Calendar Event.

Author John Baltisberger has been called 'genuinely the backbone of modern Jewish horror.' From Amazon: John Baltisberger is an author of speculative and genre fiction that often focuses on Jewish Elements. Through his writing, he has explored themes of mysticism, faith, sin, and personal responsibility. Though mostly known for his bizarre blend of Jewish mysticism and splatter, John defies being labeled under any one genre. His work has spanned extreme horror, urban fantasy, science fiction, cosmic horror, epic verse, and he has even written a guide for mindful meditation. While relatively new to the writing community (his first book was published in 2018), John has become known for his work in verse, having worked in both extremely short works and massive novella-length poetic epics. He continues to work to push himself to explore new avenues of expression and horror literature. His website is https://kaijupoet.com/
