Social
Action Committee
Thank you to everyone who participated in Earth Day activities! Efforts spent planning, organizing, preparing materials, and in carrying out the event were very important to the success of the day.
Special thanks to: Marcia Simon, who did a wonderful job setting up all the craft activities. The children had fun, and parents were appreciative; to Marion Cohn-Spitzner, who did a great job setting up all the outside activities, and, with help from Alan Burkman, installed a small butterfly garden. We planted 5 flats of annuals. That gives us a real head start on the year, and the children will be able to see and say what they did; to Craig Graver, who did the hard physical work of pulling out ground cover all along the south fence. That area is now cleared of noxious weeds so that Religious School parents and children will be able to plant seedlings there on May 16 for us to harvest for the sukkah; and to Andrea Smith for enhancing the already gorgeous spring bulb plantings. Thanks also to Rhoda & Don Simon, who organized a hike at Inniswood Gardens, and to Dawn Heyman, who stepped in to manage the glass art project.
