Welcome Corps Refugee Program | |
|
PJC Members have formed a group to sponsor and support a refugee, participating in a new federal program called Welcome Corps in partnership with HIAS and Hearts and Homes for Refugees. As sponsors, we will be helping with all aspects of resettlement, including housing, employment, learning English, education, health care, and legal assistance.
The PJC Refugee Resettlement group has received a travel date from Welcome Corps for our sponsored refugee, a woman from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She is expected to arrive in New York on Wednesday, September 27. We are currently exploring local housing options for her, as a first step. Additional volunteers are always welcome to help the effort!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We have met our near-term goal, getting us through the first three months. Further donations are needed to support her for a full year, with the goal of achieving self-sufficiency. If you would like to contribute, please visit our GoFundMe page. Donations are tax deductible, and every dollar will be used to meet the family's basic needs. If you would like to join the effort as a volunteer, please contact Matthew Marcus or Rhonda Singer.

The Postcard is an autobiographical novel. In 2003 the Berest family received a postcard listing four names and no return address. The names are the author's maternal relatives who died in the Shoah. When Anne has her first child, her curiosity about her ancestry is kindled. She sets out to uncover the family's secrets.

The Library is open.
New books can be found on the mantle. To check out a book, find the pocket with a card in the back. Write your name and the date you borrowed the book.
Please leave the card in the office upstairs. Return all borrowed books to the blue bin on the window ledge in the library. Do not shelve returned books. This will enable the librarians to keep books in circulation and keep track of who is borrowing our books.
Thank you for your cooperation. -- Barbara & Liz
