Calling people on the phone and making a friend.

Learning something new in a group,  and your teacher is a bellydancer  or a tango instructor.

Finding out you’re part of the sandwich generation and what to do about it.

Going to the Post Office with a package of 50 phone cards and Chanukah greetings made by the Religious school, and mailing it to Iraq.

Selling Judaica to the Nursery school, Religious school  and their parents.

Learning about wine, tasting it with great food and having a party with Brotherhood.

Modelling the latest fashion or seeing your children model at the fashion show, and winning a gift basket you really wanted.

Sharing a Sisterhood Shabbat by attending a catered lunch and making either a bracelet, mezzuzah or a craft afterwards.

Giving away suits that you don’t use and helping someone else get an interview outfit from “Dress for Success”.
