Greetings!
We’re excited to announce the launch of J Street’s new national field and grassroots program, and your local address for this program, J Street Boston. Welcome! On the evening of Thursday, February 4th, J Street Boston will officially launch with a kickoff event. The event will take place at centrally-located Temple Ohabei Shalom, 1187 Beacon Street, Brookline.
Did you become a member of the Moishe Kavod House last year and are wondering whether its time to renew? Haven’t joined yet but want to know how? Membership is a key way for us each to claim our stake in our community and to ensure that Moishe/Kavod House reflects democracy and transparency. For those who joined last fall/winter, the deadline for membership renewal will be March 7, 2010 – our 2nd annual membership meeting. (Mark your calendars now! Meeting will be 4-6pm followed by dinner.) For those who joined late in the year (for example, in preparation for the June retreat), you have already paid for half the year, so your dues for March 7 will be $25 (or $18 for low income/student). Annual dues are $50 or $36 for low-income/student members. To renew, write out a check to Moishe Kavod House and mail to 165 Winthrop Rd. Apt B, Brookline, MA 02445 c/o Alix Zamansky OR pay online through PayPal, link found at http://www.kavodhouse.com/resources/membership. To join for the first time, you must also complete the membership form, found via the same address. Thanks!
P.S. If you are driving to Saturday’s Farm-to-Shul Havdalah Event w/ Nigel Savage and have an extra seat or two or three in you car, please e-mail Annie at anniedfox@gmail.com (also, feel free to e-mail Annie if you are looking for a ride) THANKS!
