Donor concert in Napa celebrating Fran Rosenberg and women’s health

napa

Please join us on April 19th, 2009 for a donor concert celebrating the life of Fran Rosenberg and of Hadassah Women’s Health programs.  Fran Rosenberg was a very active 50-year member of Hadassah. She had deep roots with many Hadassah members — especially loved women’s health — and was a strong supporter of stem cell research.

The concert will take place at a private home in Napa from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  The performer is Daphna Rahmi, soloist and violinist.   Daphna performs both as a singer and a violinist in a Bay Area Klezmer band, “Klezmakers” and in a duo called “Rahmil and Barley”.  You can read more about her on her website.   Afternoon tea will be served.

We ask that guests donate to this event in increments of Chai — $36, $54, $72, $90 or $108 – and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, April 19th.  For more information, please email us at hadasashvallejo@gmail.com.
