Bet Torah Nursery School’s Community Outreach Co-Chairs Jill Heller and Beth Nevins organized a successful career clothing drive to benefit Dress For Success® Mid-Fairfield County. The moms of Bet Torah Nursery School and of the greater Bet Torah community donated an abundance of gently used, “interview appropriate” career clothing, footwear, accessories and new cosmetics as part of the Nursery School’s Mitzvah (good deed) of the Month program. What better way to force a little spring cleaning and make good use of this type of apparel and accessories!

The mission of Dress for Success® is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.

 

Bet Torah (www.bettorah.org) serves as a leading center for Conservative Judaism in Northern Westchester.

Join Girl Scout Troop 1029 on Tuesday, May 27th to thank a first responder. The eight, fifth-grade Girl Scout Juniors from Seven Bridges Middle School Chappaqua started this event for their Bronze Award, a group project that Girl Scout Juniors undertake to benefit the community. They thought about people who don’t get enough recognition in our community, and decided that volunteer first responders are really only acknowledged in a big way on Memorial Day.

The troop decided to create a day where the community could come together and say thank you to the 
local men and women who volunteer as first responders: the Chappaqua Fire Department, the Millwood Fire Department and the Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps. They encourage people to join them by stopping by the firehouses and the Chappaqua Volunteer Ambulance Corps headquarters on that evening with a plate of cookies, a child’s drawing, a donation, or just a heartfelt thank you. The girls hope to make this an annual event and do more each year to get the project to grow.
