FVJN Book Group

Tuesday, August 13, 7 pm at FVJN

Have you started reading, yet? 

The book choice for August is The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant.

This book group is open to all (and a lot of fun, too)!

The following event is an annual fundraiser for Cure Search Walk for Children's Cancer. Becca's LEGacy is a team which participates each year, in memory of FVJN friends Francine and Stuart Brottman's daughter, Becca, who passed away 5 years ago.

From Francine:

Five years.  Five birthdays.  1825 days.  Five toy drives.  Five

CureSearch walks.  This September is a milestone.  We will mark the fifth anniversary of Becca's passing.  Five years.  It seems like Becca was here just yesterday, full of smiles, energy, and ideas about how to make the world a better place,   especially for kids like her - with cancer.  In Becca's spirit, this will not be a time of mourning, but a time of celebration.  We celebrate Becca's life and Becca's LEGacy of living, loving, and giving.
