We will be venturing off to Amsterdam and Dublin for our honeymoon. Help us explore the countless sights and sounds of both cities, one windmill, museum, and distillery at a time.

This organization is very near and dear to our hearts. The Cleveland Community Cat Project is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of community cats in Northeast Ohio. Their mission is to protect outdoor cats through humane management, public education, and grassroots advocacy. Our little troublemakers Theo and Brie were rescued and fostered through this organization and we are incredibly grateful.

Hands on baking class in Amsterdam during our honeymoon!

The Jewish Big Brother Big Sister Association of Cleveland (JBBBSA) is a non-profit agency that provides professionally supported mentoring services and programs to local children and their families. Both Brian and his father, Dan Chessin have been active Bigs, program committee members, and Board members of the program. The personal development that the program promotes has been extremely rewarding and gratifying for both Brian and his Little, Colin.

Camp Wise is the overnight camp of the Mandel JCC of Cleveland. Brian was a camper, counselor, and supervisor at Camp, and he is now a member of its Alumni Committee. Many of his closest friends grew up with Brian at Camp as well. The interpersonal skills that are fostered and the spiritual bonds that are developed have made Camp Wise the special place that it has been for over 115 years.
