Tree Of Life
CHL is proud to present an original piece of artwork by renowned Jewish artist Lori Loebelsohn, representing our vision and mission created specifically for us with input from CHL Board of Directors, especially Jan Bouch who served on CHL’s Board from December 2011-May 2016 and under the leadership of Board Chair Marie Frohlich (May 2009 – June 2014) and vice-President Lauck Parke (2010-2014).
