The January event for the B’nai Mitzvah Chavurah is delayed just a few days. In celebration of Tu B’shevat, we will gather at Lucy Read Park to plant trees in remembrance of Shoshana Weintraub. Treefolks will supply the trees, AISD will supply the mulch and we’ll supply the labor! Please bring a shovel to ensure we have enough. We will start off with a picnic lunch before we get to work. To keep things simple, each family should bring their own lunch and drinks. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes. Please respond to Michele Chandler at <mchandlerlmsw@sbcglobal.net> or to have a real conversation, call 394-0993. **If we get rained out, the event will be held the following week on February 11, 2007**

The concert will be in the Community Hall at the Dell Jewish Community Campus. Tickets will be available at-the-door (starting at 1:00 pm): children under five are free; children five - 13 are $6; and adults are $15.
