Social Action from the Tushie Out was a hit!

Within the past few weeks, we had our last program of the current administration. I am thrilled that we had 30 people register. We presented, the how to, development of a Social Action project. We were honored to have Rabbi Amy Weiss the Founder and Executive Director of Undies for Everyone out of Houston, TX be our presenter. The concept is to have underwear for children to ultimately keep them in school.

Aspects that Rabbi Weiss shared was to 1) think outside the box 2) direct service versus being hands on 3) who is helping with the project, Jewish or not, the audience being all types of individuals or a specific niche 4) look into corporate social responsibility endeavors to assist or will it be solo outreach or group, each way is helpful. Rabbi likes to work with charity / service groups even to the point of an adult / child working together. Lastly 5) be aware there are hidden needs out there that can be served. To complete the program, we did give away one $25 gift card to a participant and I am excited that that person came from Texas.

Finally, the ICR Programming Team would like to thank everyone who has attended, learned, and or have taken away aspects over the last two years! The goal was to give each of our ICR Affiliates, something new or reminder, tools and ideas to take back to their own Sisterhood/Women's League.   

Torah Fund 

Conference is coming! Let’s meet in Oklahoma City for the IntraContinental Region’s Spring Conference. I can’t wait to see you all and talk about Torah Fund at the designated session.

To bring you all up to date on the campaign: As of this week, Torah Fund has collected $990,921. The goal is $1,150,000. I know that many of you hold your Torah Fund events in the spring, but please be aware that all donations need to be processed before the end of the fiscal year – June 30^th. We are asking that you submit them as soon as possible and no later than June 15^th. On-line donations take two days to process, so they must be submitted by June 27^th.

Thank you all for your efforts in raising monies for the Oseh Shalom campaign this year. Remember, no donation is too small.
