(Courtesy of Friendship Circle of Passaic) The wonderful Queen’s Tea—a benefit for The Friendship Circle of Passaic County for children with special needs—will be held on Sunday, September 15, at the Packanack Lake Clubhouse, 52 Lake Drive West, Wayne, New Jersey, at noon.

The tea features guest speaker Marion Blumenthal Lazan, author and speaker, who will share with us her story of survival of the Holocaust in war-torn Germany, where she was born.

We will also honor very special royal women on this afternoon. Mrs. Jennifer Tomback and her daughter Sammie will receive the Young Leadership award; Mrs. Beth Paley will receive the Friend of Chabad Center award; and Mrs. Elina Kruglyak will receive the Friend of Friendship Circle award.

A fabulous tricky-tray auction and a delicious brunch will be served. The Friendship Circle services children with special needs and their families in the Passaic County area. The Circle keeps on growing and if you have a teenager who would like to volunteer or if you are a family that could benefit from Friendship Circle volunteers please call us at 973-694-4970 or visit us at fcpassaiccounty.com.
