More than 250 Friendship Circle volunteers from Crown Heights girls school enjoyed an evening of appreciation, marking another year of successful programs.
In a beautiful showing of the unifying spirit that is the hallmark of the Friendship Circle, girls from all Crown Heights schools, including Beis Rivkah, Bnos Menachem, Beis Chaya Mushka and Bnos Chomesh were in attendance.
Each week, hundreds of volunteers give of their free time to give the gift of friendship to children with special needs. They also assist with many other Friendship Circle programs that give relief and respite to the parents and siblings of these special children.
A special barbecue dinner was prepared to thank the girls for their dedication and commitment. Entertainment was provided my the world famous mentalist, Marc Sky, who wowed the girls with his act.
Volunteer coordinator, Chaya Chein, who directs the year long activities of the volunteers, thanked the volunteers for their dedication, commitment and giving of their time to the Friendship circle.

The Volunteer of the Year Award was given to Draizy Wilansky, who put countless hours into her Friendship Circle activities.
“We are only able to our work thanks to the dedication of our volunteers,” says Friendship Circle director, Mrs. Chaya Eckhaus. “I am constantly amazed by the amount of time and effort they are willing
