Best Years Let's Go to the Movies
Thursday, February 23, 1:00 PM

It was fun last year so let's do it again!  All those who want to be part of our Best Years group, join us on Thursday, February 23 as we meet at the Del Monte Cinema to enjoy a great movie on the big screen!  We will tentatively gather in front of the theater at 1:00 p.m. and have a choice of at least a couple movies to attend.  We do not all have to watch the same movie but can split up depending on your movie choices.  Depending on what movies are available that Thursday, we might adjust the meeting time.  After the movies have ended, we will regather across the street at Cold Stone for a little ice cream dessert!   Because of our CBI Senior Endowment Fund the movie and ice cream is FREE!  Look for announcements the middle of February about what movies we might attend and their exact starting times.  Those who want can ride in the Rabbi's car from CBI.  Let us know if you will meet at the theater or go with the Rabbi.  Questions or to RSVP please call the CBI office at 624-2015.
