At the end of October, the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor held an appreciation event for its “Lions and Poms” group. This group is made up of two giving societies of women, the Lion of Judah ($5,000+ to the Annual Community Campaign) and the Pomegranate Society ($1,800+).
This year’s appreciation event gathered the generous women for Coffee & Clay at Yourist Pottery Studio, to honor the memory of Evie Lichter (z”l), an extraordinary leader, friend and philanthropist who passed away earlier this year. Participants handcrafted gorgeous clay vases, and Evie’s longtime friend Prue Rosenthal offered a beautiful tribute to Evie’s dedication to the Ann Arbor area Jewish community. Evie was herself an active pottery maker, and Prue shared some of Evie’s masterpieces with the group. It was a delightful afternoon filled with love and memories.
