Please join us on February 2, 2023, at 6:00 PM at 80 Main Street. Our program is a timely one in light of the fact that it has been one year since the start of the war in the Ukraine. Our speaker will be Dasha Valuskya who is the Ukrainian Sponsorship Coordinator with Jewish Family Resources. She emigrated to this country as a child from the Ukraine. She has previously worked as an English teacher with JFS for refugees and asylum seekers. In addition, Emily Werth, a volunteer with the Niagara County Satellite Office for JFS, will be present to provide information about refugee services and needs. Donations for newly arriving families are helpful and include such things as linens, bedding, kitchen supplies and appliances. Monetary donations are helpful as well and they will be accepting those as checks made out to Jewish Family Services with “Family Support Fund” written in the memo line. The meeting will consist of a light buffet supper of a choice of salad and sandwich, soft drinks, coffee, tea and a plated dessert. The cost is $30.00 which includes the gratuity and use of the room. Hostesses are Shirley Frombgen and Danielle Priest. Reservations must be made by Sunday, January 29 at 7:00 PM by calling the telephone committee.
