Hey People We've been able to contact many of you personally but I'm sure there are many potentially interested people whom we've missed. What we have is an opportunity for you to share dessert and coffee with us at Temple Sholom in Springfield on Sunday evening, October 14, at 7:00 PM. Besides, and much more important than dessert and coffee, you'll have: 1. An opportunity to listen to and chat with Representative Hobson on the current state of Congressional-Israeli relations. Since the horrific events of September 11 occurred after Representative Hobson agreed to come, i'm sure there will be some discussion of those events as well. Since Representative Hobson must leave for California immediately after hs presentation, we've promised he could go at 8:00 PM so we'll start precisely at &;00 PM> We hope you can come and that you will be there a few minutes before 7:00. 2. An opportunity to listen to, and respond to if you wish, a presentation on the Springfield United Jewish Welfare Fund drive, which is the mechanism by which we contribute to the support of Israel through the UJA (I've forgotten its new name.) If you've not been contacted personally and would like to attend, please send me a message at diinoray@xxxxxxx so we can plan for seating, dessert and coffee. If you've been contacted there is no need to respond.
