What a party!
200+ guests came out to celebrate our progress at the ribbon-cutting party on Saturday! Thank you all. We were honored to have Pete Hamill join us for Havdalah, read from his book, and then regale us with stories from the old neighborhood. Together we said Shehechianu, cut the ceremonial ribbon and reveled in our beautiful new Social Hall. Food, drink and dance music aplenty, the party was fabulous! Todah Rabah to our wonderful volunteers who made the evening a success. Thank you to our generous contributors who sponsored the festivities (Click here for the revised list of sponsors).
