Florence Melton Adult Mini-School Graduation 2007
After two years of studying together the 6th graduate class of the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School in Austin will gather together with their families at the JCAA on Wednesday May 30th at 7pm for their graduation ceremony.  The graduates this year are: Susan Epstein, Jennifer Repass, Steve Burger, Shoshanah Dietz, Teri Golden, Kim Kahn, Sara Kolett, Sonia Paban, Pam Prais, Miriam Schimmoller, Natalie Weinstein, and Meredith Klein.

Make Graduation Gift Giving Meaningful and Easy with Israel Bonds
Whether the graduate is a pre-schooler or a doctor, the $100 Mazel Tov Bond is a meaningful way to share your values with the graduate and support the State of Israel.  Your gift of an Israel Bond is a wonderful way to commemorate a milestone while helping to ensure Israel 's future.  Investment forms are available at the J welcome desk or from Israel Bonds at (800) 676-3101.  When you buy a Mazel Tov Bond the recipient will receive a statement showing a bond has been purchased in his/her name along with a letter announcing your gift.  At maturity the graduate will receive a check for the principal and interest.  Meanwhile, Israel can re-establish the economic momentum needed for sustained growth and development.
