Orange you excited for the grand opening of the Citrus Connoisseurs Club? Wait, you’ve never heard of the Citrus Connoisseurs Club? Lemme give you the details.
If I’m being honest, it isn’t clear what prompted the creation of this club, even though I am a big fan of citrus myself. However, I do know that I grabbed my phone one day to find a text from Noah Goldfischer that speaks for itself (I think this is my official confirmation that I’m a part of this club).
With an idea, and the determination to make it happen, the Citrus Connoisseurs Club was born. Needless to say, the club was an instant hit, taking the Club Fair by storm. Noah and his club got a whopping 176 signatures…though, I’m pretty sure that most of the people who signed only wanted to see Noah eating an entire lemon, rind and all, which he promised would happen if he got 100 signatures. As you can see on Maimoonah Shafqat’s (’20) twitter (slideshow below), students even showed their support through the hallways.
So, what is the Citrus Connoisseurs Club? Honestly, you probably know more about it than I do. To understand what it’s about, I sat down with Noah Goldfischer, self-proclaimed doctor (that’s what the website told me). To Noah, the Citrus Connoisseurs Club consists of him and others, who come together, eat fruit, and discuss it. Beyond this, however, there is a much more thoughtful reason for his founding of the club.
“The real purpose is that I feel like a lot of the clubs are a little intimidating to join. But I think a lot of people would be turned away because they don’t really like politics or are intimidated by the whole idea of meeting with the sole purpose of helping others. I think people join a lot of clubs because they think it’ll pad their resume. Citrus Connoisseurs is the opposite of that. It’s just fun for fun’s sake.”
Everything came together last Tuesday, October 2 when the Citrus Connoisseurs Club finally met. I was lucky enough to be able to attend this meeting. We talked about our dislike for clementines (apparently the seeds inside the clementine are WIDELY controversial), our new love for finger limes, and new Citrus Connoisseur Club T-shirts. (see below for a sneak peak of the new Citrus Connoisseur merch, courtesy of Julia Youngman) What’s that? You wanted to know EXACTLY what happened at the meeting? Or do you just want to see if Noah really ate an entire lemon, rind and all. Well lucky for you, I took a whole video of the meeting, so you can watch Noah devour a lemon in HD, whenever you want to.
If this review of Mountain Lakes High School’s newest club makes you think, “Hmmm, that club looks pretty great. I want to join, but I don’t know how to do that,” look no further! All you have to do is email ngoldfischer20@mlschools.org to sign up!
