Machon meets 01/23 at CBI

Posted on January 16, 2011 by | 1 Comment

Our next Machon study session is meeting January 23, 2o11 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at CBI.  “Bring a snack to nosh on and let’s schmooze.”  (This is a quote from Rachel Lessem!)  Contact Rachel if you have any questions.  Her number is in the directory.

We had a nice time touring Cornerstone Gardens last weekend.  I am amazed that we all were able to fit in this picture.  I think everyone found something that they liked at the gardens and perhaps due to the weather, it seemed like we had the place to ourselves.

Tu B’Shevat Walk in the Gardens and Lunch, January 9, 2011

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Please join us for a pleasant stroll at Cornerstone Gardens in appreciation of the trees and nature for Tu B’Shevat on January 9, 2011.  Cornerstone Gardens is actually a combination of different types of gardens designed by prominent landscapers.  You will be able to see how nature and art blend in their works.  You will be experiencing the gardens through all of your senses: sight, smell and touch.   In addition to the gardens, there are stores to wander through and a restaurant where we will have lunch.  The gardens are handicapped accessible.  The paths are flat either with dirt or stones.  Admission to the gardens is free.  Please meet us at CBI at 10:00 a.m. if you wish to carpool.  RSVP to Geri Kahn  if you are able to offer a ride or would like a ride.  If you would like to meet at Cornerstone, plan to meet us in front at 11:00 a.m.  We will be inviting members of the Petaluma Hadassah chapter to join us.  For more information about Cornerstone Gardens, you may check out their website at http://www.cornerstonegardens.com/.

If you have never been to Cornerstone Gardens before, you are in for a real treat.  There is no other place like it in the United States.  You will be inspired and refreshed after our stroll.

A walk in the Benicia State Recreational Area

Posted on October 1, 2010 by | Leave a comment

October is national breast cancer month.  Hadassah has teamed up with the Susan G. Komen foundation to sponsor a Race for the Cure in Jerusalem, Israel.  Since it is not possible  for all of us to go on the walk in Jerusalem, we will have a walk for awareness on October 3, 2010, at 10:30 a.m.  We will be meeting at the Benicia State Recreation Area at the Military West entrance.  You may park in the fee parking lot there or across the street (on the street) for free.  We will be walking on the Hike trail which is an easy paved trail.  After our walk, we will have a picnic on the benches in the park so bring something to eat for lunch.  Family, friends, and dogs on leashes are welcome.

If you wish to donate to the Race for the Cure in Israel, one of our members is going and would appreciate your support.  You may make your donation online.  Feel free to contact Geri Kahn for more information about the walk in the park or about the Race for the Cure.
