Greta's Gnus - June 2008
My hats off this month to Linda Faber who started a new Beth Or tradition. She organized a "seniors party" (not age but High School Gradutes). We were honored to have 7 wonderful graduates and they all attended and received little gifrt bags. The table set with appropriate table ware, cakes etc. Our master baker (Marti Gammon) had cupcakes with appropriate school names on them Great job Linda and her committee......
Linda's grandaughter, Madison let me know that she had graduated that day too, from Kindergarten, can you believe how fast she grew up in our midst........
Incidentally one of the graduates, Kevin Mintz, received about a half page coverage in the Herald because of his accomplishments and how his parents have helped him overcome a lot of his difficulties with Cerebral Palsy......
Celia Belsky was off on another time share with her mom. This time it was to the Hollywood beach hotel. Celia and her mom go 3 times during the summer to various time share, lucky Celia.......
Mazeltov to Sheila and Marvin Silverberg who had their 4th granchild born on May 5th. Shama Rose was born to Lee and Diana Silverberg who live in Wellesley Ma. (grandma and Grandpa were there to welcome her)......
Belated Mazeltov to our incoming president Dr. Michael Newman and wife Patricia. His son Shawn was married to Sara Heffer on March 25 on the Island of Fiji. They met in Hawaii where they were both stationed. He is a career Navy and she is in the Marines. They will continue to live there until his tour is up in May 2009........
Was nice to have Max Kirkham stop in for a visit before going to Israel. He joined Samantha and Mike in song. (he'll be back in August after Israel)......
Mazeltov to Steve Handshu and Gail Reitman who will be the first couple married by Rabbi Kram as he starts his tenure at Beth Or. They just got engaged and will be getting married on July 13 followed by a European trip.........
To those of you not in attendance, you missed a rollicking send off to Rabbi Rebecca. From original poetry to Jeff Kaminsky's rib splitting comedy and everything in bween everyone had a great time. (including Larry Goodman on the sax)Thanks to Jen Berse and Bette % Rose Spector who were to organizers. Rebecca and Jan put on their "schticky" scene too........
Keep the news acoming
