a free and democratic state that serves as a place of refuge and a homeland
for all Jews; and

unremitting terror; and

with and support of Israel;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

of Israel for a safe and secure Israel and encourages every Jewish Community

CULTURAL DISPLAY
ITEMS SOUGHT
The JCC’s cultural committee is seeking Judaica-themed items
or collections, of a non-fragile nature, (such as menorahs, mezuzahs
or tzedakah boxes) to enhance our lobby displays of Jewish culture
and religion. These items will be on temporary loan and will be returned
after an appropriate length of time on display. To include your items,
contact Cultural and Adult Program Director, Iris
Katz to coordinate this effort. All individuals donating items
will have their names included in the description of the display.
SPEAKERS' BUREAU VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Travel to classrooms and community groups with the video, "What
I Remember," an interview-format documentary about the Holocaust experiences
of two survivors. Individuals will need basic presentation skills,
a rudimentary knowledge of the Holocaust and current events, and a
willingness to interact with both students and adults. Volunteers
will schedule their own time based on visit requests. For more information,
contact Iris Katz at the
JCC.

SCHOOL FOR THE EARLY YEARS
FUNDRAISING
The York Jewish Community Center's
School for the Early Years participates in the General Mills Box Tops
for Education and Campbell Soup's Labels for Education program to
raise money for preschool and child care programs. All of the money
raised from these programs is used to purchase equipment and supplies
for our children.
To support early childhood education, please drop
off General Mills Box Tops and Campbell's Soup labels at the front
desk or in the basket in the Early Childhood wing lobby.

GIANT
REWARDS FOR THE CHILDREN
The JCC's early childhood education programs have again been offered
an opportunity to participate in the GIANT A+ School Rewards Program.
JCC members are asked to complete a designation form available at the
front desk. Every time you shop at Giant and use your Giant
Bonus Card through April 21, 2008, points are earned for the JCC (in
addition to the points you earn for yourself). After April,
these points are turned into cash and Giant awards a check to the JCC
to use for education purposes within the early childhood department.
It costs you nothing. There's no extra fee. As one parent
put it, it's "free money" for our children's education at the JCC.
The process is very simple:
1. Go to the Giant website at
www.giantaplus.com
2. On the site, designate the York Jewish Community
Center's Early Childhood Program as the school you want to support.
3. Use your Giant Bonus Card on each shopping trip at a
participating Giant store.
ON TARGET
Did you know you could earn money for the JCC's educational programs
for children while using your Target or Target Visa card? Every time
you use your Target Visa or Target Guest CardŽ at a Target store or
target.com, Target will donate an amount equal to 1% of Target Visa
and Target Guest Card purchases made at Target and target.com, and
1/2% of Target Visa purchases made elsewhere, to the JCC. To participate
in this program, simply designate the Jewish Community Center on your
Target Visa or Target Guest CardŽ application. You can get an application
at any Target store or target.com.
If you already have a Target Visa or a Target Guest Card you can sign
up for the School Fundraising program by calling 1-800-316-6142 or
by visiting target.com. Our school ID number is: 23194. Please support
the JCC's child care program when you shop! Pass this on to friends
and relatives so they can help, too!
WEATHER
During inclement weather, please tune to WSBA-AM 910 radio or
WGAL-TV 8 for closing and delay information. Child care families should
follow the JCC building announcement. Preschool families should follow
