Thank You!

I have always been simply awestruck by Shelley's years of good works, so often behind the scenes and not done for any great credit or acclaim but only born out of her generosity & good heart & her desire to help the Shul.

How perfect then that her honoree year is matched with the Newmans, equal giants of so many years of giving of themselves and their time, to the great benefit of Etz Chaim and all of its members.

Thank you Shelley, Maggie & Cliff

for all that you do for us all!
