MLK Jr. ISU 4U Legacy Lounge – A Message from the Sisterhood
MLK Jr. ISU 4U Legacy Lounge – A Message from the Sisterhood
I was delighted to attend the 5th grade graduation for MLK Jr. students.
It had all the pomp and ceremony a graduation should have. What a joy to see the children walk to receive diplomas. I hoped to meet community support representatives and we were all there – as well as city dignitaries.
To update everyone on the Sisterhood’s support for the ISU 4U Legacy Lounge, we will now work directly with ISU’s, Shari Miller. Our goal is clear and greatly welcomed. Shari will keep us in the thread as the Lounge develops. Our Temple can feel so gratified. Many thanks to you who have already donated to this amazing opportunity to make a difference in the MLK Jr. neighborhood school.
If you haven’t donated please consider a gift. If you have any questions or comments please contact me at (515) 343 7831 or bookcclane@me.com.
Shalom!
Rebecca Shaffer
