Second in the series – MENTAL HEALTH- SUPPORTING OUR YOUTH Presented by: NAMI on April 21 (Sunday morning) in the First Grade Classroom at CBS

Parents/guardians and grandparents are welcome to join us during Sunday School to learn how to recognize when a young person is struggling with their mental health as well as how to reach out and talk to them. The presentation will be followed by three 10-minute conversation topics: friendship, autonomy, and social media. Coffee and bagels will be provided. Our own Nikki Rashes and Karen Rosenberg will be presenting this program. At this time, with our community under stress, this is a very important topic. Please rsvp to rkramen3@gmail.com to let us know you will be coming.

Come Play in the Giving Garden: Tuesdays during Religious School 4:30 - 6:00

I’ll be playing in the Giving Garden on Tuesday afternoons (unless it’s pouring; I am a fair weather gardener) during Religious School starting April 2nd. Playing includes growing things, watering, weeding, general puttering, and visiting with each other. Would you like garden tips? Maybe you have some great ideas for the Giving Garden. I have some too but I need help, and gardening is always a good time. For more info, contact Paula Fraser, pfraserbiz@gmail.com, . No commitment, see you out back.

Chesed and Tikun Olam

This week, we want to thank Rita Kramen, who leads our Tikun Olam efforts at CBS with great energy and enthusiasm. Rita takes time every week to highlight the actions of members of our community, but her contributions should also be recognized. She does so many things for us, it’s hard to keep the list to just a few recent efforts! Rita has championed our work with Dupage United, and under her capable leadership our Dupage United team has grown and contributed to the betterment of Naperville and surrounding areas. Last week, Rita brought our community the opportunity to help deliver Passover boxes to needy and/or disabled families in the Western suburbs — Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago– and she personally delivered food boxes around Naperville. Rita is currently working to develop a new program where our members will adopt a section of Springbrook Preserve and meet to clean it twice a year. After two years, we’ll receive a plaque in recognition. This project is a literal embodiment of the principals of Tikun Olam. Thank you so much, Rita, for all you do to inspire our community!
