Introduce Yourself: Ann Weinman

What's Your Story? Hi, my name is Ann Leonore Cohn Weinman. I was born in Chicago, in 1936 and grew up in Highland Park (along with my brother Ben Allen, married to Bobbie Allen). I am a retired labor judge. I’ve run five marathons, I mentor kids, have served on several Isaiah boards and sing with Hasherim. I am a proud mom and grandmother and enjoy spending time with my partner, Alfy.

Members participated in our Chair Yoga class, which occurs the first and third Friday of every month.

Last Friday, members toured around the galleries of Bergamot Station to see its collections.
