Peter Kubicek is a happy man, and as one of 300 docents at the Met museum in NYC, he had a chance last Sunday to lead an exclusive tour as a fundraising benefit for a group that were interested in iVolunteer’s mission.
With a limited group of 18 people on board for the tour, including Sheva Tauby, her mom, 6-week old baby boy Menachem, and 3 year-old daughter Shayna, the tour was a wonderful success.
“A Holocaust survivor of about my age, walking with difficulty with the aid of a cane and supported by her daughter, was part of our group,” Mr. Kubicek said, elated that the event was successful, and in keeping with the spirit of his own dedicated philosophy that helping others and part and parcel of life.
Mr Kubicek, a retired globe-trotting businessman who now enjoys his golden years through reading, travel and activities like this, is himself a contributor to the iVolunteers financial department.
“After the tour was over, Sheva provided individual kosher picnic baskets for everyone, which we consumed in a lovely spot, where there were benches in the round, in Central Park, just around the corner from the Met,” Mr. Kubicek added.
“The weather was perfect. Of course, I knew it would be because I had relied on Reb Tzvi Tauby and his connections and he came through.”
Peter Kubicek is an angel on Earth. I know.
by the way, menachem and shayna are my neice and nephew and are the cutest things in the world!!
