The Adult Leisure
Group continues to flourish, offering an afternoon of entertainment
and/or education to senior men and women throughout the city.
We are able to
combat the obstacles that sometimes upset the status quo and
function smoothly because we have a crew of dedicated people who
want this project to continue its success.
In the office,
Alice, Gail and Robert are always ready to meet our every concern.
The kitchen staff and custodians treat our members with tender
loving care! Jackie Wassermann has always worked with this project,
supporting and facilitating all our concerns. We are really going to
miss her. We wish her a happy and healthy retirement.
The members of our
clergy never say no to Adult Leisure. We appreciate their support
and participation.
The Adult Leisure
Committee members are each one of a kind—their loyalty and
commitment are outstanding. Ruth Billinkoff has worked with me from
the very beginning, about 30 years ago. Josie Brenner, Esther Ginpil,
Evelyn Gurvey, Toby Sawyer and Eve Vickar have volunteered for many,
many years. Sandra Caplan joined the cause about five years ago.
Sigi Wassermann, Esther Katz, Arnold Gardner, Sondra Cohn and Minnie
Bell are more recent volunteers. Ruth Thompson fills in whenever I
send her an SOS.
It is our sincere
hope that this program can continue to enhance the lives of our
seniors for many more years to come. |
