Report from Captain Sarita Eisenberg:

Twenty appreciative guests were happy to be out of the snow and applauded after the menu was announced. The meal was catered through a donation by the Chevrah Shas (our Sunday morning Talmud Study Group) and included: egg salad with crackers, a hearty vegetable soup, a main course of chicken shwarma and meatloaf, roasted potatoes, and carrot kugel with cookies for desert. Our guests went home with a goody bag of hamentashen and other treats provided by Deanna London.

MESH, Mar 3 2015The adult helpers were Linda Ariel and Lou Hammerman together with Sierra Wendeborn. Sierra along with regulars Ben and Caleb mentored a crew of STOM teens – Sam, Danielle, Rachel, Sebastian, Josephine – and Montclair HS Key Club member Chase.

Several of the STOM crew were doing MESH for the first time. I asked them how they felt and one commented “I think I’ll come back next week.” It doesn’t get any better than that.
