EmptyNester Open House,
Havdalah, Dinner & Supreme Court Program
Saturday August
1, 2009 at 6:30PM JBSC
 You
are cordially invited to attend our WHC EmptyNester New Member
Open House, Havdalah Service, Dinner and Supreme Court
Program.
We will start this EmptyNester Open House with a special
Havdalah service led by Rabbi Fabricant and Cantor Bortnick.
The service will be followed by a Greek dinner and then our
Supreme Court discussion.
Our post-dinner program will focus on the Supreme Court. John
Nannes, past President of WHC and trustee of the Supreme Court
Historical Society, will introduce our speaker, Professor Mel
Urofsky (Ph.D., Columbia University; J.D., University of
Virginia). Mel will lead us through a discussion of the recent
and future issues involving the Supreme Court followed by a
Q&A period. Given the new Obama administration and the
nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, this program will be very
timely and informative.
If you haven't been to an EmptyNester event, this would be a
perfect time to try us out. We enjoy theater, current events,
politics, books, travel and a host of other things. As you can
see below, our rules for membership are quite broad...maybe
even undefined...so most everybody can be an EmptyNester. We'd
love to meet you so please join us...it'll be a great evening
together.
Dinner will be catered by a local restaurant. It will be
delicious! Please RSVP as soon as possible.
Please send your check (made out to WHC) for $18 per person

INscape
provides a guided, innovative, creative and nonverbal way to
explore one's unique journey through cancer or other life
threatening illness (caregivers are welcome). During the two
day workshop, 8 to 10 individuals participate in a supportive,
non-judgmental community, using the tools of photography,
directed writing, discussion, guided imagery, chanting, and
breath work. The program is based on our belief that when
photography is generated from a state of being fully present,
it connects the life lessons metaphorically represented in
nature with the landscapes of our inner lives. The resulting
"self portraits" reveal a wealth of rich and exciting personal
information. During the course of the workshop, each
participant focuses on developing a deeper understanding of
his or her own individual responses to the challenges of
illness and investigates how to create a life that is more
fully realized.
