Life and Times: A Study Group to Pique Your Interest!
Life and Times is a great group of women who meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am to discuss both notable women in history and topics of interest to all of us. Each month the person who is hosting the meeting does a short bio on a woman she admires, followed by a report on a topic of interest to her. Past topics have included women inventors, art history, women poets, stroke awareness, recycling, heart health, and Jews in China. Our presentations are followed by lively discussions. We avoid political and personal topics. For more information please contact our leader, Sharon Cohen, forshar1@yahoo.com

Daytime Trotters ( Yfat Hillel )

The “Daytime Trotters” of the Conejo Valley Chapter of Brandeis University National Women’s Committee visited the American Jewish University on Feb. 18 for a tour of the new exhibit in the Platt/ Borstein Galleries, titled “Mind Body Spirit., and a Special Collections librarian Jackie Ben-Efraim spoke about the history of books with examples from the Maslan Collection of Rare and Unique Bibles.

Daytime Trotters.
(Article about this trip was printed in "The Acorn" - great publicity for BNC Conejo!)

Photo of The Group. The Chapter thanks the Day Trippers Study Group for their donation. As a relatively new group, the members look forward to new friendships and having fun. They also decided to give back selflessly. Their donation was sent to BNC for the Scholarships for Students and Science for Life Medical Research Funds. Pictured above are the Day Trippers at their Holiday Party.

Day Tripper's Toy Delivery: December 2009
CHP at the West Valley location received a large donation of unwrapped toys from Conejo Valley's "Day Trippers."
Our "Day Trippers" donated nearly a room full of toys for children this holiday season. The CHP officers set up a location in front of the local Target for the toy drive called "CHIPS 4 Kids" to receive donations of toys, but they said they were a bit disappointed after a long hard day of getting so few toys donated. When we walked in they were thrilled to see our bags and bags of toys arrive. They set them up and allowed this photo to be taken to show all of you how appreciative they are to receive our generous donation.
Thank you again for your support. Sheila.
