Making a difference while having fun with Beading Buddies

By Carol Hirsch

The Beading Buddies make beaded jewelry for local projects sponsored by Temple Shalom and Jewish Federation of Greater Naples. We donate handmade jewelry to the children of Guadalupe Center in Immokalee for Mother’s Day gifts and to the Shop with a Sheriff event for Christmas.

All are welcome to attend our sessions held at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. There is no charge if you bring your own supplies, however, supplies are provided for a donation that is used to buy more supplies. Sessions are from 12:30-3:30 p.m. on the following dates:

• Wednesday, March 12

• Tuesday, March 25

• Thursday, April 17

I would like to thank the “beaders” who have helped make this project successful: Maxine Brenner, Becky Cornacchia, Janett Edelberg, Ellie Wasserman, Susan Feld, Deborah Fidel, Linda Simon and others who have contributed time and supplies.
