Aileen Grossberg, honoree for Shomrei’s annual Honor Night, Sat. Feb 20, 2016

It is with great pleasure that I announce that this year’s honoree will be Shomrei’s long time and incredibly devoted member Aileen Grossberg. This is an honor that is long overdue. Aileen, is not only Shomrei’s Librarian, but also serves as our senior Kiddush organizer and preparer, as well as Shomrei’s very own caterer. It is in large measure because of Aileen that Shomrei’s Shabbat services end with a wonderful Kiddush that we can all partake of, that our library provides our community with the some of the best reading available, and that some of our Bar or Bat Mitzvah’s receive the very best catering that can be offered.

The date for the event which will be chaired by Ann Lippel is Saturday evening, February 20th. The “rain date” (in case there is a blizzard) will be the next day. Please be sure that you hold the date! Thanks to Sarita Eisenberg, VP of Programs, for all her preparatory work on this event which will be our major social event of the year. Thanks also to Merle Martin, who has has once again agreed to work on the Ad Journal, our major fundraiser for the fiscal year.
