Looking back on 2016, we would like to thank our tireless volunteers and loyal members who have supported our chapter's fundraising on behalf of Brandeis University. Their efforts have made the following activities successful: summer camp, study groups, amazing events such as the beautiful Fall luncheon, the "Evening with Chris Caldwell," the wonderful dinner theater party and the canasta tournament. We also greatly appreciate their many donations to the Brandeis library, scholarship and the Sustaining the Mind funds. In 2017, there are so many more opportunities to support our chapter's mission to raise funds for Brandeis University.
