Shalom ZOA Members, Friends and Supporters,

We are moved by the great, early response to our “120 Club” in celebration of ZOA’s 120th anniversary. We will only place the first 120 names on the banner that we receive donations for. In addition to their own names, we have received a donation to place a name in memory of a friend who was a Zionist activist, and from another donor who merely wants to be listed as “anonymous.” A name on our banner will be a great tribute to a loved one, or a way to encourage young relatives to pick up the Zionist baton from you. See details below.

We had another Greater Philadelphia ZOA quarterly meeting last night, chock full of important information from our three guest speakers. See photo coverage later in this newsletter.

We appreciate those of you who attended, and are especially grateful for the many volunteers who helped out. Our next such meeting is planned for November.

 

Greater Philadelphia ZOA is looking for volunteers to help with a special mailing that we are doing Monday beginning at 10 a.m. and should be done by 2 p.m.  We will need 10 volunteers.

The mailing will take place near our office in Bala Cynwyd. If you are able to lend us a hand and a few hours of your time, we would greatly appreciate it.

Please email us or phone us at 610-660-9466 if you are able to help out.

Thank you in advance!
