broadway-theater.jpg Summer Fun at the Theater
Peter and the Starcatcher at the Golden Bough Theater 
       

Last summer many CBI members relaxed and were entertained as together they enjoyed some of our local theater. Let's do it again! We have reserved tickets (at discounted rates) for 4 shows in the next two months.

We will gather at the Golden Bough Theater on Saturday evening, July 1 for the 7:30 performance of "Peter and the Starcatcher." This fun prelude to Peter Pan is great for all ages. Our discount ticket prices are: adults $35, seniors $28, teachers and military $16, students $12, and children under twelve $8. So that we can keep these discounted prices PLEASE RSVP to CBI for this show by close of business today!

We have three more theater events lined up for July and August.  More information on the upcoming shows will be in the June Shofar newsletter and future e-bulletin announcements.

We need YOU! - Oneg Hosts 

Oneg receptions have become an integral part of how we build our CBI sense of community and by volunteering to host; you are helping us do this. However, we are in need of hosts for the coming weeks ahead in July and August. To participate is easy and only requires you to volunteer by letting us know.

Help keep this wonderful tradition alive by hosting an Oneg in memory of a loved one, in honor of a special person or life-cycle event.  Contact the CBI office today to schedule this simple yet meaningful mitzvah.
 
We are grateful to our members during the past fiscal year, who have made our Friday night Oneg's a beautiful experience.  Thank you for making the close of our Erev Shabbat Services extra special.
