MIAMI CRUISE WEEKEND GETAWAY!

We want to hear from you regarding our upcoming quarterly events! The RBPN summer/fall quarterly event ‘MIAMI Cruise weekend getaway’: Who is interested in coming; how much would you spend maximum for the trip; when would be the best time to plan the cruise; would you like to visit a city instead; for example, Vegas, New York, L.A., Chicago, etc.?

We are having a winter quarterly event: Gaza ‘imjudurra’, or any other dinner menu ideas welcome, dinner fundraiser, in conjunction with the already successful 2009 RBPN Thanksgiving food and Christmas toy drive cash donation, on the same evening nationwide at the end of February 2010. What day is best for you? Will you be attending? Would you like to volunteer and participate? Please donate CASH ONLY by contacting your cities representative to avoid customs and Israeli’s clearing donated items. The Ramallah 16, a charitable group the federation donates funds to, will purchase the food and toys with the cash received in Ramallah and disburse accordingly!!!
