“YOU CAN HELP PREVENT CHILD ABUSE”

Please join Temple Havurat Emet Sisterhood on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 11:30 am for a delicious lunch followed by a discussion about child abuse prevention.

This is a worthwhile and necessary discussion and is sadly, very, very important in today’s society.

Owen Fabert will speak to us and we hope to have a lively discussion following his words.

Lunch will be served at noon in the Bradford Room at the Oakwood Clubhouse and will consist of Cranberry Chicken on a Croissant, Side Salad, Flourless Butterscotch Torte Dessert and Coffee, Ice Tea.

This looks to be a timely and topical discussion. Please plan on joining us for the event.
