Syria Supper Club at Shomrei — a Big Success!

Shomrei Celebrates: Burnt Tablecloth and a Big Success!

Everyone mingled happily in this loving atmosphere. The centerpieces, designed by Nancy Beslin and Carol Cathey, were the height of creativity, reflecting two of Aileen’s major areas of interest – books and cooking. Candles on each table conveyed intimacy and romance.
