Sharon Feigin, a longtime jewelry designer and a life member of our Section, will give a fascinating talk on “How to Design a Piece of Jewelry” for our Personal Giving Thank-You Brunch on Sunday, June 2, at 10 a.m., at a private home in Denville.

“Fire is like magic. It has magical power,” said Carol Losos, executive director of GlassRoots: Newark Glass Arts Center, and our special guest speaker at the Personal Giving Thank-You Brunch, held in May. The Personal Giving Campaign was co-chaired by Dorothy Cohen and Anne Gorman.

Our exquisite quilted chuppah, made by our members, was used in two weddings in late spring. Dorothy & Irv Cohen led the chuppah setup and breakdown crew both times—hats off to them!—and Karen Secular and her husband Doron Grosman also helped with chuppah setup at one of the weddings.
