The Opening Act
Our continued apologies about the lack of a newsletter these past few weeks.  Hopefully we will get back on track soon.  In the meantime, there is important information  to share.

Longtime member Martin Katz passed away peacefully on Friday.  Funeral services are today at 1 pm at Congregation Beth Israel at the Tri City Jewish Center.
The Feature Attraction
                  
Our pianist Jonathan Turner gave a fascinating presentation on his new book about the Bucktown area of Davenport, and this history of this notorious area of downtown and how it has been transformed.  If interested in purchasing this book, you may find it here:
