Meet Your Neighbor: Rachel Epstein

"I was the QCH Program Director at Kew Gardens Community Center from August 2012 until December 2021. I enjoyed working with the volunteers who taught classes. We planned holiday programs, entertainment, and fashion shows. It was a real collaboration, and I was inspired by the creativity and enthusiasm of the members. One of the highlights for me was our Anniversary celebration where we invited the people who helped create the community center to attend and share their memories. I was involved in setting up the parties and enjoyed performing. The Center's Chorus group went out to entertain at local nursing homes.

Since retiring, I've continued to attend classes and participate in holiday celebrations here. It is such a pleasure to come back and see familiar faces and witness how the Center has grown over the years. I am proud to still be a part of the Center and share my talents."
