Mazel Tov to Sheila and Gil Simon on their newest grandson, Jake Mathew Simon. Happy Birthday to Brina Drobnis and Marcia Marx. A new "raffle/fund" has been started in the Shoshanim Group. It is the Ima Fund As an Ima the contribution to Youth Aliyah of $1,000 will provide tuition support for a Youth Aliyah youngster for a full year. Each Ima will receive recognition in the Menorah Hahorim (Menorah of the Parents). The donor's name is inscribed on a Megillah kept in an olivewood cabinet specially designed by Youth Aliyah students. Ima donors receive a hand-inscribed certificate. Because we recognize that it is not possible for everyone to make that large of a contribution at once, we are creating a raffle so that each of us may win the opportunity to become an Ima. Each time you want to commemorate a special occasion, you can make a donation of Chai or $18.00 into the Ima Fund. For each donation of Chai you make, you will receive a / w ticket towards the Ima drawing. As soon as the Ima Fund reaches $1.000.00, there will be a drawing from all the contributors and the winner will become an Ima. The first Contributor to the Ima Fund is: Lori Lip man-Brown in honor of Lori Noble's recovery and Good Health. Tributes sent are as follows: Get Well to Gil Sichel from Leah Sichel Get Well to Orly Liana from Leah Sichel Happy Anniversary to Gil and Betty Sichel from Leah Sichel Happy Birthdays to Jacqueline Sichel, Eitan Sichel, Andre Liana, Rebecca Atkinson, Susan Kreuger, Linda Morrow, Cindy Province, Sharon Smith, Bea Soares, Rose Stiver from Leah Sichel If you would like to send a personal greeting, get well, memorial, birthday or congratulations card, call Brina Drobnis at 243-7474. Prices range from $3.00 to $5.00 and Brina will even address, stamp and mail them for you. Hadassah tribute cards save you time and help our group meet its yearly quota to aid Israel and, of course, you get full donor credit. Continue to bring to the meetings those extra toiletries and samples that you receive in the mail or see in hotel rooms when you travel. We save them for the Shadetree, a shelter for battered women. They are so grateful for these items and this is one small way in which we can give back to the community Continue, also, to save Campbell Soup, Mrs. Pauls, Swanson's, Pepperidge Farm, Prego labels, and more. We've been saving them for St. Jude's Ranch for abused and neglected children but now the Clark County public schools are saving the labels. In exchange for labels the individual schools receive money to use as needed. Please designate where you would like your labels to go. For a more complete listing of which labels can be saved, call Sherry at 655-0404 or Marcia at 256-4105.
