The Color of Love: A Story of a Mixed-Race Jewish Girl Discussion Group
2026-07-09 13:00, 2026-07-16 13:00, 2026-07-23 13:00, 2026-07-30 13:00
Daughters of the King at St. Andrew’s will be reading and discussing The Color of Love: A Story of a Mixed-Race Jewish Girl, a memoir
by Marra B. Gad, this July. And all are welcome to join them. Adopted by a white Jewish family, Marra B. Gad grew up navigating life as a Black Jewish woman in a world that often rejected both parts of her identity. Years after an estrangement caused by racism within her own family, she becomes the only person able to help reconnect her Great-Aunt Nette, now living with Alzheimer’s, to her remaining relatives. In choosing compassion over resentment, Marra discovers the possibility of healing, forgiveness, and an unexpected bond.
It may be difficult to locate a physical copy of the book. If you need one, Michele Marini has several copies; please let her know. As of July, copies were available online at Barnes & Noble in both print and eBook formats.
For additional information, please contact Michele Marini at 814-574-9639 or email Michele at michelemarini@comcast.net.

Red Cross Blood Drive
2026-07-27 10:00 - 15:30
Giving blood in the summer is critical because donations drop by roughly 20% while the need for blood rises due to increased travel and accident-related traumas. School breaks, vacations, and hot weather cause regular donors to miss appointments, often leading to a severe blood shortage between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Register now to give blood at 1-800-RED CROSS or online at RedCrossBlood.org and enter StAndrewsEC to schedule your appointment.
All blood types are needed, particularly Type O.

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary (the Semiquincentennial,) the Book Group is reading 1776 by David McCullough.
Based on extensive research, the book tells the “story of the year of our nation’s birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America’s survival in the hands of George Washington.” (Simon and Schuster)
The Book Group is open to all and newcomers and guests are always welcome.
