Vassar Temple Men’s Club – Always Willing to Lend a Helping Hand.

By David Wolf

Members and friends of Men’s Club came through in a big way on the first Sunday of the new year to help some less fortunate members of our larger community. Seventeen volunteers assisted chef extraordinaire Kurt Quackenbush in preparing a delicious meal of chili, rice, salad, and fruit at the Lunch Box on January 3. Several recipients of the meal commented favorably about the generous portions that were served and about the overall quality of the meal! Many thanks to Kurt and the other volunteers: Jeff Brenner; Howie Brown; Paul Ciminello; Alan, Aaron and Haley Kaflowitz; David Lampell; Jacob Moore and his friend Robby; David Posner; Bob Ritter; Jim Robinowitz; Eric Rosenfeld; Dave and Max Samson; Jerry Slate; Howard Spilke; and Dave Wolf. Men’s Club would also like to thank Linda and Joel Babas for their assistance in preparing for the event and to the Brenner, Ciminello, Creedon, Hecht, Kaflowitz, Lampell, Moore, Posner, Quackenbush, Ritter, Robinowitz, Rosenfeld, Rosenthal, Samson, Schwartz, and Wolf families for their food donations.
Volunteering at the Lunch Box is a wonderful way to schmooze with your temple friends while helping the community. It’s also a great way for students to earn community service credit.
