The Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) at Westchester Reform Temple are sponsoring their Annual Holiday Boutique on Thursday, December 1, 2011, from 10:00 am – 7:00 pm. The event will include over 35 specialty vendors displaying a range of enticing, one-of-a-kind items with varied price-points and a “cash for gold and any size sterling silver” table. For the first time, this year’s boutique will feature extended evening hours including a wine and cheese tasting sponsored by Vintology, Scarsdale, from 5:00 -7:00 pm.

Emphasizing the theme that shopping is charitable, the line-up of goods from local merchants to Israeli-made items gives shoppers the opportunity to fulfill personal meaningful interests as well as support vendors whose proceeds benefit children’s charities worldwide. Sales of handmade South African items help fund a pediatric HIV/AIDS clinic in Durban. Profits from the boutique benefit WRJ designated charities in Westchester and Israel.

There is no admission fee to this event, which is open to the public. Parking is also free. Checks and credit cards are accepted by most vendors. Westchester Reform Temple is located at 255 Mamaroneck Road, Scarsdale. For more information, please call 914-723-7727 or visit www.wrtemple.org .
