Making a tribute or memorial donation is a wonderful way to honor someone special, celebrate milestones (such as a birthday, wedding, Bar Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah, anniversary), and in memory of a loved one. We will send an acknowledgment of your gift to the recipient or their family.

The Pandemic: Our Relationships with
SELF and others
*Crisis always comes with anxiety, and longstanding crisis without end dates or clarity of outcome make profound demands on us. We will be asked to look at our natural responses to more ordinary anxiety-provoking events, and to acknowledge how those responses are adaptive - or not - to our current reality. I invite you to consider how your adaptation style, as well as those of your key relationships, are altered by this challenging reality.
Guest speaker Estelle H. Rauch, LCSW (retired).

Grace and Frankie
For as long as they can recall, Grace and Frankie have been rivals.
Their one-upmanship comes crashing to a halt, however, when they learn that their husbands have fallen in love with each other and want to get married. As everything around the ladies is coming apart, the only thing they can really rely on is each other. This Netflix original re-teams Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin ("9 to 5") as Grace and Frankie, respectively, bringing their chemistry to the small screen.
Watch this series at your leisure, then come together and share your funny, favorite scenes and stories with us.
