Fun and giving through Beading for Betterment

By Carol Hirsch

For several years, the Beading for Betterment project has provided special, custom-made necklaces to children at the Guadalupe Center in Immokalee. They are distributed to these children so that they have a Mother’s Day gift to give to their mother, grandmother or other special woman in their life. In addition to the children at the Guadalupe Center, necklaces have also been distributed to children who participate in Jewish Federation of Greater Naples’ event, Shop with a Sheriff, 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.

There will be free sessions at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center, 4720 Pine Ridge Road. Sessions will be held on:

• June 11

• August 15

Each session is from noon to 3 p.m. Come to one or come to all!

If you have your own supplies, please bring them. If not, supplies will be provided; only a donation will be requested so that more supplies can be purchased.
