Bookends With Sisterhood Returns!

Thursday, January 4th // 7:00 pm // Zoom

We will be discussing Kantika by Elizabeth Graver.

Elizabeth Graver began writing her fifth novel,
<https://www.amazon.com/Kantika-Novel-Elizabeth-Graver/dp/1250869846>
Kantika, in 2014, but the Turkish Sephardic dressmaker at the heart of the
multi-generational, continent-spanning saga has been with her for a
lifetime. That’s because she was inspired by Graver’s maternal grandmother,
Rebecca (née Cohen) Baruch Levy.

The discussion will be moderated by Sara Sherman.

This Week’s Message from

The CBI Alliance for Sustainability

"If your filter looks like a large grey cat
It's time for maintenance!"
(found on Workiz.com)

Why change your furnace filter? The filter's job is to increase indoor air
quality. Pollen, dander, and other unwanted particles build up on the filter
so it can no longer do its job. A dirty filter allows these pollutants to
enter your home. Changing the filter prevents moisture from accumulating,
moisture that can lead to the growth of mold. Changing the filter reduces
static pressure, which is the resistance to airflow. As the filter gets
dirty, static resistance increases and your furnace has to work harder to
heat your home.  For more easy tips on winterizing your home check out this
post from PSE&G:
