To many, Sunday, February 3, 2008 is Super Bowl Sunday but to the family and friends of Selma F. Rosenberg, of Woodlawn, The Bronx, it is Super Selma Sunday. On February 3 Selma will celebrate her 95th birthday.

Selma is Super, having spent almost her entire life in service to a fraternal organization called the Odd Fellows/Rebekkahs and becoming along the way President of the New York State Rebekkah Assembly. This in addition to raising a family while working for the New York City Tax department and various tax attorneys

To this day Selma makes a weekly journey, via a para-transit mini bus, to the Odd Fellows Old Age Home on Havemeyer Avenue in The Bronx, near the Throggs Neck Bridge, where she assists with payroll and other office duties. She’s a reliable spark plug.

To celebrate her birthday, Selma's son and daughter, four grandchildren, one great grandchild and several friends will take her out to lunch at a local restaurant. "I wanted to go earlier in the day so I have plenty of time to get home to watch the Super Bowl", she said.
