Our needs are greatest for the afternoon and evening shifts. Please consider getting someone else to pick up the kids or be in charge of dinner, once or twice this month. It’s a great feeling to make a difference by volunteering, but nobody said it would always be convenient! If you’ve never wrapped before, we can teach you! Call ASAP so we can get you in with a pro before it gets too busy to train. You may be surprised by how much fun you have! This year, the mall is charging us for space, cutting heavily into our profits. We need you more than ever! We also need help to tear down our booth and put it back into storage on 12/26, after the mall closes. It should only take an hour, since we won’t have much stock left. Please Call Susan Hertzberg to volunteer. Our January 9th meeting will feature nationally acclaimed Jewish storyteller & playwright Erica Lann-Clark. Erica’s stories for adults range from old Jewish fables to modern tales of the Bronx. She also teaches others to tell their stories, because it is our stories that make us human. The meeting will be held at the home of Wendy Peikes at 7:30 p.m. Come for a warm evening of entertainment and enlightenment on a cold winter night. Guests and members we haven’t seen in years are welcome! For the third year in a row, ORT set up all the Internet services at the General Assembly of the United Jewish Communities of North America, which took place in Chicago Nov. 10–15, 2000. The ORT Information Booth provided multimedia presentations of ORT activities around the world. ORT students assisted GA participants in surfing the net or checking email, and demonstrated their abilities in operating an industrial robotic arm. We have sold over 200 Entertainment Books, earning close to $1000 for ORT! We sold enough to earn $5 each instead of $4. Thanks to everyone who helped! I will include a list of top sellers (in addition to superstar Bobi Levine!) in the next bulletin. But time is running out to make those final sales! All unsold books must be returned to Entertainment by 1/5/01. Please get all your unsold books back to Wendy Fotland by January 2nd. If you need more, please call now! Mail checks to Wendy Fotland. We’re happy to have them in our chapter, and hope to see them at many future ORT events!
This time, we met at the Willow Glen Petroglyph, which has a parking lot, a feature we all appreciated. If you would like to have another opportunity to go to Petroglyph with ORT, please call Wendy. Maybe next time some of us can go out to dinner first! Ok, it costs $10 to register, but once you sign up, a portion of your purchases goes directly to ORT! We can raise thousands of dollars for our schools with no effort, if enough members register their credit cards or grocery cards with eScrip. This is the easiest fundraiser you’ll ever do! We will have membership info soon. Call Wendy Fotland or check our website for updates. |
