Support “My Hope Chest”at ICD Jewelry on December 6

December 4, 2013 by The Inside Press

Hope-chestBy Virginia Shasha

Last December, my world stopped, with words one hopes never to hear: breast cancer. Through denial, fear, anger, tears, I was determined to survive.

My friends, family, and ICD colleagues supported me throughout my treatments.  I took my life back, and returned to work, coming out on Community Day: I was overwhelmed by the support of my Chappaqua friends.

I found a way to “pay it forward.” There is a small foundation, My Hope Chest, that raises money for reconstructive surgery for uninsured women, most of whom do not enjoy the encouragement I was so fortunate to have. Varda has graciously offered to help aid them through ICD. We will be holding a special event at the store for the benefit of My Hope Chest on Friday, December 6th.

I gratefully wish everyone who expressed their cares a healthy year filled with life’s joys.

The No. Westchester Food Festival Raises Funds to Fight Hunger

November 30, 2013 by The Inside Press

1402072_421586627943054_1581029987_oThe Northern Westchester Food Festival Raises Funds for Mazon* to Fight Hunger.

Over 400 people from the community came together to celebrate at Temple Beth El’s first “Northern Westchester Food Festival: We Feed the Hungry.”  Over 30 local restaurants offered their signature dishes and people savored samples from restaurants that they frequent but many were introduced to other restaurants from surrounding areas. “It was wonderful to see new and old faces participate in a community event for a good cause,”says Susan Pecker, a Vice President at Temple Beth El. “Due to popular demand, we will be having it again next year.” *Proceeds of the event were earmarked in a donation to Mazon, a national nonprofit organization working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel.
