On Sunday evening, April 29th Women’s League /Makor Disability Services will be Celebrating the 

Past -Building the Future at its 40th Anniversary Celebration.Since its humble beginnings with the opening of its first residence in 1978 , under the leadership of Jeanne Warman, Women’s League has met the ever growing community needs of individuals and families with specific challenges and set a goal of providing exceptional services for individuals and families with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Today, Women’s League, now  known as  Makor Disability Services , operates 32 group homes and supportive apartments for developmentally disabled babies, children, adults, and even married couples. At present, more than 800 individuals benefit from these crucial services, which positively impact on their lives through various innovative residential and community programs throughout Brooklyn. This September the Makor College Experience at Yeshiva University opened its doors to young men with special needs who can now fulfill their dream of attending YU.  

The entire community is invited to join the momentous event at the Palace on McDonald Avenue, in recognition of the dedicated Makor staff and the evening’s worthy honorees, David & Cyna Singer-Guests of Honor, Shoshana Lefkowitz- Makor Leadership Awardee , Phyllis Gitlin – Professional Excellence Awardee , to honor the memory of our late resident, Gordon Levy and most importantly to recognize Jeanne Warman with the Founders Tribute as she embarks on the next phase of her life. We will be honored to have Rabbi Yaakov Perlow , The Novominsk Rebbe give divrei bracha.
