Evening Branch is getting ready for a new year of fun and exciting events with our newly installed cabinet. Our fearless leaders this year include Sandy Arnovitz and Arielle Cohen, past presidents, Darcy Edelman, Susie Friedman, Denise Gold, Laura Halpert, Michele Kaminsky, Leslie Moss, Lori Riga, Marcy Robbins, Joy Stoler, and Lauren Werber. We are all young, working women, many with children, who want to participate in all NCJW has to offer but with limited time available. Therefore, most of our events are in the evening or on the weekends, and some are family-friendly.
We are already planning a Sukkot event in September. Stay tuned for details. Also, we are planning to attend a movie together during the Cleveland Jewish Film Festival on October 10th.
