The entire school community is still conjuring sweet memories of “Abracadabra,” an evening to benefit the students of LCDS that took place on Wednesday, May 20 at Temple Menorah’s Olemberg Hall. Beyond serving as a wondrous opportunity for the school family to celebrate this year’s successes and enjoy each other’s camaraderie, the event provided a platform to honor Joni Meiselman for her leadership and dedication throughout the years to LCDS, with a special award presented to her by Roger Miller, Board Chair and Richard Lehrman, Immediate Past Board Chair. The evening also included a performance by illusionist, Alan Chamo. Funds raised will enable LCDS to continue to provide our children with the finest faculty and modern learning technologies. In addition, we can continue to offer tuition assistance to deserving children. Thank you to Event Chair, Rochelle Finvarb and the Event Committee for their inspired work, and to those who supported the event through sponsorship, participation, and auction and raffle items.
