Great opportunity for fun and giving with Beading for Betterment

By Carol Hirsch

For several years, the Beading for Betterment project has provided custom-made special necklaces to children at Guadalupe Center in Immokalee so that they have a Mother’s Day gift to give to their mother, grandmother or 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.

There will be free sessions from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. (*12:30 to 3 p.m. on Friday) at Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center, 4720 Pine Ridge Road, on the following dates:

• Tuesday, Oct. 15

Come to one or come to all! If you have your own supplies, please bring them. If not, supplies will be provided and only a donation will be requested so that more supplies can be purchased.
