A Note From Sisterhood
|
Thank you!!
Special thanks go to Melissa Leto, Yvette Karnibad, and Anita Homansky for their recent roles in Sisterhood activities. Melissa, with the generosity of CMI members, coordinated the Hospice Savannah Thanksgiving meal. Yvette, with Lucile Smith, Madeleine Blank, Marc Friedman and Chuck Loncon (and their kids) prepared a wonderful Hanukkah party for Shalom School. Anita, with the help of CMI volunteers, had a successful gift wrapping fundraiser for Sisterhood. Without the help of all of you who participated, these projects would not have been successful.
- Marie Dodson
President, Sisterhood
