Our 2014 Progressive Dinner will be extra special. We will be beginning and ending our evening in the same place, thanks to the generosity of Ilien and Keith Hechtman. We will initially gather at the Hechtman home for appetizers to get the evening off to a great start.  

Once the guests leave the Hechtmans, they will head to their assigned host house.  Hosts are responsible to serve a salad, main dish with some side dishes, bread, and something to drink.  Temple Beth Or provides each host house with two bottles of wine -- one red and one white.  

You and your guests eat and talk for a couple of hours and leave to return back the Hechtman home by 10 p.m. for the dessert portion of the night.  It's a great way to rekindle old friendships and make new ones.

Irene and I do all the behind the scenes arrangement of assigning folks to the houses and so forth.  As an added benefit, guest hosts are not required to pay the fee for the dinner. 

It's great fun and we hope you'll consider hosting.

Please let us know as soon as possible whether you'll be able to be a host. Feel free to respond by email to annette075@aol.com or you can call either Irene or me if you have any questions.  We look forward to hearing from you. Please contact one of us as soon as possible so we can properly plan the dinner.

Best,

Annette & Irene

Hurricane Season is Over!

Do you need to clear out the canned items you've been saving all season "just in case"?

It's easy.  Just bring canned, unopened packaged food items, and any other non-perishable goodies to Beth Or, and we'll see that they get to the appropriate places: shelters, food banks, organizations that help homeless people.

And while we're at it, don't forget the critters!  We can easily take and distribute pet food to a most worthy organization that fosters and re-homes pets whose owners have become ill, severely disabled, or passed on.
