Beading for Betterment makes a difference By Carol Hirsch
F
or several years, the Beading for Betterment project has made a difference in the community by providing custom-made special necklaces to children at the Guadalupe Center in Immokalee so they have a Mother’s Day gift to give to their mother, grandmother or other special woman in their life. Necklaces have also been distributed to children who participate in Jewish Federation of Greater Naples’ Shop with a Sheriff event for Christmas.
Whether you are an experienced “beader” or have never made a beaded necklace, please join the group for a fun beading session. All are welcome for these free sessions from noon to 3 p.m. at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center, 4720 Pine Ridge Road: • Tuesday, Feb. 20 • Wednesday, March 6 • Wednesday, March 13 • Thursday, April 4 • Monday, April 8
Come to one or come to all! If you have your own supplies, please bring them. If not, supplies will be provided and a donation will be requested so that more supplies may be purchased. For more information, contact Carol Hirsch at chirsch1951@gmail.com. This program is sponsored by Jewish Federation of Greater Naples and Temple Shalom.
