Arrivals walked a green carpet at the entrance, where a waiting photographer captured couples and families.<\/p>\n<p>In appreciation for their gift and counsel, the Greens were presented with a beautiful mosaic that Susan had especially prized. Co-event chairs Dr. Mark Effron and his wife Rochelle Adler Effron and Hugo and Lis Kahn made the presentation to the Greens.<\/p>\n<p>Susan Green&#8217;s daughter Erica helped usher in a video that showed the members of the Green family at various events with the honorees. Lauren Gisclair, the JCDS vocal teacher introduced a video of the school children singing their thanks to the tune of the former TVshow, &#8220;Green Acres.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52187\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52187\" class=\"wp-image-52187 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925-768x1024.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52187\" class=\"wp-image-52187 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_4925-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-52187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Susan Green cuts the ceremonial ribbon as Howard Green looks on, indicating the opening of the preschool which now bears their names.
