the founders of the
Life in a Jar pro-
ject, came to
speak to N/L
members at Old

tells the story of
Irena Sendler, a
Polish social work-

2500 Jewish chil-
dren during the
Nazi occupation of
Poland. Liz and
two other girls

Just a word of apology for hav-
ing to change restaurants last
month when Jake's was unex-
pectedly sold to a developer
and closed. We were fortunate
to be accommodated by the
new Kilt and Clover for a
splendid Irish feast. I thank
everybody for their under-
standing and for all of those
who reached out to me for
clarification and information.
We did everything possible to
make people aware of the
change but were unable to
change pre-submitted news-
paper articles or correct the
newsletter as it had gone to
press. I'm always happy to an-
swer any questions and can be
reached by phone at
702-328-4505 or by email
Check the Newcomer's calen-
dar or evites for updates. Hope
to see as many members and
guests as possible at Baxter's!
