Chanukah at Jewish Women International of Canada, Chomedey Chapter
The Chomedey Chapter of Jewish Women International of Canada (JWIC) had a wonderful Chanukah Party, with gift exchange and light supper provided by members, says spokesperson Sheila Kirstenberg.
The celebration, enjoyed by all members, was made special by the presence of Laval-Les Îles federal MP Raymonde Folco.
Mrs. Folco will also be the guest speaker at the group's first meeting of 2008, on January 16, starting at 8:00 pm, at Young Israel of Chomedey Synagogue, 1025 Elizabeth, just a short walk north of Notre Dame Boulevard.
"Mrs. Folco will speak to us about her role as the federal representative for the riding of Laval-Les Îles," says Mrs. Kirstenberg, adding that the presentation will include time for the long-serving MP to answer questions from members and friends of the JWIC Chomedey Chapter.
"We ask for a $5 donation to help defray the costs of the event," Mrs. Kirstenberg explains, noting that refreshments will be served.
For information about this event and all others of the JWIC Chomedey Chapter, please refer yourself to Sheila Kirstenberg, at (450) 688-6324.
