The end of summer was officially celebrated with a wonderful cocktail party at the MountainView Bar & Grill. With drinks of various kinds in hand, more than 35 members of both the Jewish Friendship Group (JFG) and B’nai Midbar spent the evening mingling with friends. It was a pleasure to welcome new members to our group. The conversations, as always, were interesting and lively. After drinks, a hungry group stayed for dinner. The food was delicious, and the conversations and fun continued.
September is the time of year we look forward to a new season, returning friends, and fun-filled events. We hope you join us as we kick off Fall 2024.
Sunday, Sept. 22, Ice Cream Social. This members-only event will be at the home of Jeffrey and Eileen Zelmanow. Bathing suit season is over. Bring out the ice cream! Grab your bowl and satisfy your childhood dreams of creating the world’s best sundae or root beer float if that’s your preference. The social begins at 6 p.m. Please bring your own chairs. There is a $5 per person non-refundable fee due by Sept. 14.
Saturday, Oct. 12, BreakFast. In keeping with our long tradition, the JFG has planned our BreakFast for both members and non-members. This year’s gathering will be an open house from 5 to 8 p.m. accommodating those who like to eat early, those who would like to finish services completely, and those who would just like to have the Jewish connection. Sandy and Steve Rosen have graciously offered to host this event at their home. As in any Jewish occasion, the food will be plentiful and delicious. The cost is $20 per person for members and $25 per person for non-members. RSVP to Sandy Rosen at [email protected] with payment by Sept. 30.
Wednesday, Oct. 30, Potluck Social. This year’s event will transport us to Italy.
