MetroWest’s Next Generation came together
to celebrate and honor two of their own

What do you get when you mix a night of dancing, updating your Facebook status, henna tattoos, and philanthropic spirit? You get 200 of MetroWest’s next generation to Spring Fling, held April 15, at the Morris Museum in Morristown.

A “Generositree” stood front and center, and as people made gifts to the 2010 UJA Campaign, a symbolic leaf was hung on the tree each time — the MetroWest community was “blooming.”

Messages from people in the crowd were posted on Facebook and shared on large screens at the Museum.

Spring Fling is an annual fundraising event cosponsored by the Young Leadership Division and Young Women’s Campaign of United Jewish Communities of MetroWest NJ.

At the event, Adina Brownstein of South Orange and Jonathan Ramsfelder of Morristown received the Julius and Bessie Cohn Young Leadership Award.

The Award is given annually to two members of the MetroWest community who have shown excellence in leadership and commitment to the welfare of the Jewish people.

The night ended with a majority of the guests dancing into the wee hours. Spring Fling was co-chaired by Melody Fuhr of Short Hills, Stacey McGarr of Millburn, Jodi Murnick of Short Hills, and Jamie Ramsfelder of Morristown.
