Our own Amanda Rainey is about to move Goldie’s Bagels from inside the Pizza Tree to its own location in the old Harold’s Doughnuts’ downtown space at 114 S 9th St.
A special feature of the new location will be a wall with framed Bar/Bat Mitzvah pictures from community members, family, and friends. If you have a photo from any era that you would like to share, please either scan the photo or take a picture of it with your phone with no glare, and email it to goldiesbagels@gmail.com
Mazal Tov to Amanda, John, Rosie and Micah on the new venture!
Afghan Refugees
Mandana Hakimi is helping settle refugee families in Columbia, acting as translator and assessing individual families’ needs. One of her current families has an infant and pre-school girls. All are in need of warm winter clothes, among other things.
Mandana has compiled a list of the most urgent needs. She also invites anyone who’d like to actively help out to go with her on her visits with the families.
Also – again this year, CBS is collecting coats, blankets, sleeping bags, gloves, scarves, and winter hats, to be distributed through several shelters. A hanger box is in the foyer of the sanctuary. Please help fellow Columbians stay warm during the cold months.
Columbia Values Diversity Breakfast
Tickets for the 2022 Columbia Values Diversity breakfast are available now and selling fast. This community event will be held at the Holiday Inn Executive Center on Thursday morning, January 13, from 7am – 9 am. A program promoting diversity through the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. will be presented along with the breakfast.
Because of continued COVID concerns, the overall seating capacity and the number of seats at each table will be reduced. CBS is sponsoring a table as a “Friend” but this year we will not be reserving a table.
