As you enjoy the arrival of summer — long days, warm nights, and time with loved ones — I’d like to take a moment to let you in on what many call West Hempstead’s best-kept secret: Friendship Circle. Right here in our community, Friendship Circle is transforming the lives of children with special needs and their families through friendship, inclusion, and unwavering support.
What makes Friendship Circle truly unique are our local teenage volunteers. They generously give their time to connect with families in our community who need support, and the impact they make is incredible.
We offer a full range of programs for Friendship Circle families, including Friends at Home, joyful holiday programs, Moms Night Out, Dads Night Out, extracurricular activities, and personalized support services.
With this in mind, I invite you, and all women and girls, to join us for a Luxury Night at the Beach: our tribute to the beloved Spa Day. This year, we’re privileged to honor Joni Nathanson. Her vision launched Spa Day and grew it year after year, and her dedication to this fundraiser has truly allowed Friendship Circle to become what it is today.
This is our exclusive, once-a-year fundraiser, and your support will ensure we can continue serving our families for another year, BEZ"H.
We’d love for you to join us. Please click on this link: https://chabadwesthempstead.org/eveningofluxury to reserve your spot and or submit a journal ad in honor of Joni and our dedicated committee. Together, let’s keep this momentum going!
Best wishes for a good, pleasant, and safe summer.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Chaya R. Lieberman
Chabad of West Hempstead Friendship Circle
