The Chervitzes have been longtime members of Congregation B’nai Amoona and Brith Sholom Kneseth Israel.

Inspired by her family, she is most proud of becoming a bat mitzvah at the age of 51. Bev volunteers her time as a tap dancer with the St. Louis Strutters and the Missouri Cameo Club. She tutors young children in developing language and reading skills through the OASIS Intergenerational Tutor Program. In 2006, she was named first runner-up in the Ms. Missouri Senior America Pageant and was honored by her peers who voted her Ms. Congeniality.

Maynard continues being active in his material handling business, United Systems, and enjoys riding his bike and surfing the internet. He is also an avid watch and pen enthusiast.

After a cruise to Dominica and Aruba, the Chervitzes will celebrate their special anniversary with their children and grandchildren.
