Last weekend, Chris and I had the privilege of attending the Bat Mitzvah of a very special young lady, Lexi Goldberg.  Lexi has been very involved with The B+ Foundation and was pretty much the leader of the bone marrow drive that we ran at our Spring “FUN Raiser”.  That night, Lexi and co. signed up 94 potential donors.  Just think, we may have saved a life that night.  I can’t wait to hear that we did.  Chris and I had a great time, both at the synagogue as well as at the party.  It was a really special day.  Alison, Michael, and Jared — you should be awfully proud of your daughter/sister.  We were truly honored to be part of this important day and I just know that Andrew was smiling down on Lexi.  On a lighter note, please take a look at the one-of-a-kind B+ yarmulke that I wore at the synagagoue.  :)  (The color didn't come out right, but you'll get the idea).
