    MCA  Movie
    Discussion Group



    Enjoy eating? Enjoy movies? Enjoy an energetic discussion?  Join us for our MCA Film Discussion Group.

    Each month, the 'movie selection committee' chooses a movie-of-the month, which all members see at their leisure.  Then, we meet at host couples' houses for our discussion and food!

    We do try to have a food topic that goes with the movie when possible.  Members have enjoyed this idea over the last few years.  Some people are extremely creative!

    The size of each group is limited, based on the number of couples who can host each month.  We usually need 4 or 5 hosts per month.  Group size depends on the size of the homes.

    As members become more comfortable with the group, we encourage people to volunteer their homes.  It is not fair for us to always rely on the same people to host. 

    If you wish to register but find yourself on the waitlist, please contact Spencer to include you.

    For more information and registration, contact Spencer Forman (spencerzforman@gmail.com

    The Road Between Us:

    The Ultimate Rescue  


    Registration opens 12/3/25


    The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue

    Winner of Best Film -- Toronto International Film Festival 2025

    Amir Tibon was home with his family at Kibbutz Nahal Oz, less than a mile from the Gaza border. His father, retired IDF General Noam Tibon, was some 55 miles away in Tel Aviv.  Amir and his family heard Hamas attackers approaching, and reached out to his father. The retired general, sensing that nobody was attempting to protect the beseiged citizens, set out to save his family.  The Road Between Us is a moving account of his self-appointed mission. The story makes us contemplate what we would do if our loved ones faced immediate danger.

    Using original footage from the cell-phones of victims, the body-cams of invaders and a variety of drones, the film shows General Tibon's strict military ethic. He selflessly tends to others on the road who were injured by the Oct. 7 attacks. The general and his wife interrupt their direct drive to save a couple that had escaped the music festival massacre by hiding on the side of the road in a pile of leaves. Tibon also assists a group of very young soldiers who had been injured in an ambush. The general pulls together a pick-up squad of soldiers along the way, reaches the kibbutz, and goes house to house - methodically clearing out Hamas militants and ultimately liberating his family.

    The film runs 93 minutes

    America’s Opioid Epidemic


    How Big Pharma’s Profit Motive fueled Opioid Addiction and Overdose Deaths and how the Justice System Worked to Abate the Epidemic

    Much has been written about the Sacklers’ and Purdue Pharma’s development and false marketing of oxycontin that fueled the opioid epidemic in our country. At its height, the epidemic killed more than 175,000 people annually and afflicted more than 3 million people with opioid use disorder. But the epidemic was caused not just by the Sacklers’ illegal conduct but was reinforced by other opioid manufacturers and the drug distributors and pharmacy dispensers who ignored their obligations under the Federal Drug Enforcement Act.

    Lawyers representing more than 3000 cities and counties, in conjunction with state attorney generals, brought lawsuits that have resulted in more than $70 billion in settlements earmarked for addiction treatment centers, foster care facilities, drug courts, and drug law enforcement agencies. They have paid for the wide dissemination of overdose antidote drugs such as Narcan and opioid treatment drugs such as suboxone. The lawsuits have also required that the entire drug distribution chain change its behavior.

    Recent reports reveal that these programs, funded by the settlements, have reduced opioid related deaths by more than 30% in 2024.

    Pete Weinberger was appointed by the Federal Judge who managed these lawsuits as one of the lead litigators. He will detail how the case was litigated, how his litigation team was established and funded, and the evidence that was uncovered. That evidence is now documented in a national archive so that researchers and scholars can learn and report about how this man-made epidemic developed.

    Safeguarding our Nations Future

    Keith Brian Alexander is a retired four-star general of  the United State Army, who served as Director of the National Security Agency

    This discussion will cover the significant threats facing our nation and highlight why it is crucial to understand the nature of these threats and their potential impact on our security and stability. External threats from countries such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea pose a serious challenge to our national security, with aggressive behavior in military, cyber, and economic realms necessitating a comprehensive strategy including diplomatic efforts, economic sanctions, and military deterrence. Additionally, terrorist groups, both domestic and international, utilize propaganda, recruitment, and cyber tactics to threaten critical infrastructure and government institutions, requiring enhanced cybersecurity measures and international collaboration. Internal threats such as the national debt and political polarization further undermine our security, with fiscal responsibility, budget reforms, and bipartisan solutions essential to safeguarding our nation's future.  The General will offer some thoughts on how we should collectively move forward.

    Keith Brian Alexander is a retired four-star general of  the United State Army, who served as Director of the National Security Agency, Chief of the Central Security Service, and Commander of the United States Cyber Command. He previously served as Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2 (Intelligence), United States Army from 2003 to 2005. He assumed the positions of Director of the National Security Agency, and Chief of the Central Security Service on 1 August 2005, and the additional duties as Commander United States Cyber Command on 21 May 2010.

What should we do if the "inevitable" happens? A panel of experts will address this widespread concern and offer helpful insights and strategies.

    Israel Update: War? Peace? Confusion?

    MCA Member Steve Schreier

    Israel, the Middle East and the entire world have been in a state of turmoil and confusion since Oct 7, 2023.  For the past several years Steve has presented insights, analyses and predictions about the future for Israel.

    He will review his predictions and events since his last presentation in January 2025.

    In addition, he will  present his thoughts into the current state of affairs between Israel and the world and predictions about what we might look for in the next period of time

    Presenter:  Steve Schreier, a resident of Southwest Florida since 2015,  was  the president and founder of the Schreier Group, which provides consulting to non-profit organizations and philanthropic foundations. Prior to that, Steve served as consultant and Senior Vice President of the American Technion Society from 1986-2007, during which he was responsible for the conceptualization, creation and implementation of a comprehensive development structure and program throughout the United States. He has also served in executive positions in Jewish Federations and as a community and campaign consultant for the Council of Jewish Federations.

    Steve's personal ties to Israel are deep-rooted. He lived on a kibbutz for a year of work-study in 1962, and moved to Israel in 1970 to conduct research on his doctorate.  Since then, he has visited Israel more than 60 times.

    Sunshine Meadows Standardbred Training Facility


    Registration opens December 25, 2025

    Come visit the Sunshine Meadows standardbred training facility of fellow MCA member Mark Wasserman.  Mark and his trainer Travis Alexander's horses have been among the most successful standardbred horses in the country.  Mark and his horses have received horse of year honors in the harness racing industry and have been fortunate to have won some of the major races including back-to-back Messengers at Yonkers Raceway in 2021 and 22. (first leg of standardbreds triple crown).

    https://www.sunshinemeadowsdelray.com/sunshine-meadows

    During this visit you will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the horses.  You will be able to help the horses prepare for training and help the trainer remove the gear from the horses after their training session.  if you are willing to get wet, you may be able to help wash the horses after their workout. Not only will you interact with the horses, you will also meet with Mark, the trainer, as well as riders and grooms.  Mark will discuss the life of an owner.  Among the topics will be horse breeding, what to look for in a horse to purchase yearlings, deciding what races to enter and when to sell a horse that is not a good fit with his stable.  The trainer will explain what goes into training a standardbred horse as well as what he plans to accomplish in the exercises you will be watching.  Riders will also be available to discuss how the horses performed that day. 
    After the unique training experience, we will head to Ben’s Kosher Deli for an enjoyable lunch. 

    The training facility is in Delray Beach, Florida.  Carpooling is encouraged. Those wanting help finding others to carpool with can contact David Feldman for help davmarf@aol.com.  

    There is no charge for the visit to the training facility.   However lunch will be your responsibility.

    Beatlemania Comes to Naples: Live with The Fab Three





    After more than six decades following their meteoric rise to fame in the early 1960’s, The Beatles remain as one of the most popular, if not the most popular, rock and roll bands in history. Even after all this time, their music is still widely played all over the world. Beatles tribute bands number in the hundreds, and in 2028 a four-part biopic on the Fab Four will appear in theaters. It seems their popularity only continues to grow with time. Come take a walk down Memory Lane as our own Ken Brown, Frank Muller, and Randy Solomon offer a live retrospective of Beatles hits over the years, complete with back stories of each song. This promises to be a crowd pleasing performance that all will enjoy. 

    Our Fab Three includes Ken Brown, Frank Muller and Randy Solomon who are members of the  Alta Rockers Band, and have each been playing Beatles tunes for as long as they can remember.

    Island Adventure

    Registration opens 1/30/26

    A coed event



    Travel by boat to Keewaydin Island – a beautiful barrier island between Naples and Marco Island – accessible only by boat. There you will be able to take that long romantic walk on the beach that you’ve dreamed about; lounge in the sun;  play beach games; or even bring your fishing gear. Or, you can simply relax under a beach umbrella with a refreshing beverage and watch the waves. Our route takes us past the inlets of Port Royal, which could be a side trip if desired.

    We get to Keewaydin Island by rental boats and private boats. In prior years, several dozen MCA members and spouses participated, so this is a real beachapalooza! It’s a terrific outing! Boating experience is not required... nor is beach experience.

     For those who do not have access to a private boat, we rent 12 person pontoon boats at the Naples Marina at Bayfront (Goodlette and 41). The cost of the rental boats is $50/person.  Boat rental fees are refundable only up to March 20th, or on March 29th due to inclement weather. If you have no boating experience, we have enough MCA members with boat captain experience, so you can just relax as a passenger and enjoy the trip.

    Please note: We will be monitoring Red Tide and we may need to cancel if levels are high in the area on the day of the trip.

    Wine, soft drinks, coffee, and snacks will be available in the courtyard for purchase. 

    Sonia Louise Davis - to reverberate tenderly:

    "This multisensory exhibition and living environment for creative activity demonstrates artist Sonia Louise Davis's fascination with improvisation. Her inventive musical vocabulary of lines, curves, dots, rings and dashes is layered and repeated throughout the gallery, from textile-based soft paintings and a wall mural with neons to custom steel instruments-exploring the possibilities of a sonic space attuned to vulnerability and generosity."

    Discovering Ansel Adams:

    "The exhibition features over 100 photographs that share Ansel Adams' most celebrated works while revealing aspects of his development that are frequently overlooked. Together, with original archival materials from the Center for Creative Photography, the photographs demonstrate how Adams transformed from a 14-year-old tourist with a camera into a celebrated photographer."
