October 24, 2004: Dor L'Dor intergenerational Tea

Honoring our long time members

Over 80 people gathered to honor the women who have been members of Hadassah for over 40 years at the Second Annual Dor L' Dor Tea held on Sunday, October 24th, at the Heathman Hotel. Over $300.00 was raised by raffling ¼ carat diamond earrings, valued at $800.00 courtesy of Earl Oller of the Silver Lining, which was won by one of our honorees, Mary Peizner. Four others won cubic zirconium earrings donated by Barbara Leveton.

Sharon Boorstin (pictured left) spoke on her recent memoir "Let Us Eat Cake: Adventures in Food and Friendship," a very unique combination of cookbook, and memoir of her childhood, family and friends. Sharon drew in the crowd by asking for our favorite food memories and exploring the power of cooking and food in establishing bonds among women.

Keren Hoover, board member, (and the youngest Honoree) shared: "I really loved the honoree booklet and the 'food stories' that we shared. I mailed the booklet and a copy of the beautiful award to my mother, and she was very touched by it. Thank you Hadassah ~ for everything all the members do for one another!"
