CHANUKAH PARTY 2025: A chance to share some light, love, joy, and laughter

Come join our candle lighting (feel free to bring a menorah and candles) & Chanukah “Gift” Swap 

Bring something to give to someone else in the group – a quotation, song lyrics, a short poem, a joke, riddle, or brain teaser…It could be a life lesson, anecdote, a sketch, cartoon, even a favorite recipe. Anything that might bring a smile, spark joy, or even a laugh.

We ask that your gift be something you can fit on a single piece of paper and that you either put your “gift” in an envelope or have it ready to put in envelopes we will have that evening. We will put all of the “gifts” in a basket and we will all have a chance to pick one. **Please do not spend any money on this “gift”!**

To go along with our celebratory theme, a snack or beverage to share is encouraged (but not obligatory!)

Please RSVP by calling the CMI office (203-288-3877) or contacting Michele Abrams at shalomyall.824@gmail.com, or Julie Chevan at julie.chevan@gmail.com, or Patricia C. Vener-Saavedra vener@vener-art.com
