Trivia Night is a Great Success!   
 

The first annual Transformational Trivia night for Cultural Leadership was on Saturday, October 19. Over 140 people came to Central Reform Congregation to participate, win prizes, and raise funds for Cultural Leadership.

 

The night was led by Gil Gross and David Schenberg, Class 9 parents. After eight rounds of inventive trivia (with a Cultural Leadership 'bonus question' at the end of each), table #12 was crowned the winning table. You'll want to get these winning participants at year table next year - Cheryl Adelstein and Daniel Davison (Class 7 parents), Leah Merrifield and Lloyd Winston (Class 1 parents), Lorraine Goffe-Rush and Fred Rush (Class 6 parents), Larry Rosen (Class 5 parent), Mara Davison, Matt Neufeld, and Fran Morales-Neufeld.   

 

The prize for best decorated table went to Table #7, with a Halloween theme. Populated by Class 7 alumni: Hannah Davison, Mercedes Harrison, Micheal Jackson, Mi'chon Madison, Tari Nussinov and Devin Spears.

  

A big thank you to our event sponsor, SSM Health Care-St. Louis. Our round sponsors were Metro Theater Company, Diversity Awareness Partnership, Anti-Defamation League, St. Louis Metropolitan Clergy Coalition, NCCJSTL, and Missouri History Museum. Our table sponsors included
Ameren, Central Reform Congregation, Cheryl Adelstein, Mary Ann McLaughlin, Congregation Shaare Emeth, United Hebrew Congregation, and Whitfield School.

Cultural Leadership raised over $8,000 with this event!
