Text Box: ANNUAL DINNER ---How wonderful it is that we are all able to come together for a fun evening, have a delicious dinner in our own Café Rimonim, laugh with our friends, support our shul and honor Charles Landy and Uria and Vardit Teperberg.  There are so many real problems in the world, that it is a pleasure for us to have a happy reason to join forces, celebrate our successes and appreciate those who have done so much for us.  Thank you Dr. Landy and the Teperbergs!  

This dinner and journal are our key fund raising initiatives for the entire year.  And if we are going to continue to take from our shul, we all have to continue to give to our shul.  So we are asking everyone to invite your community friends to join us, to support the journal with creative, fun and big ads J, and to work together, happily JJJ, to make this event memorable, honorable and profitable.  Make your reservations by 2/22 for the March 4th cafe!   Submit your ads this week!
