FUND RAISING FOR NEW YEARS EVE
We had an interpreter, Koli Cutler at the Sesame Street Live
show on May 21st at the L.A. Sports Arena. There was 21 of us and we had a great time. We
earned $32.50 which will go toward the expenses for New Years Eve program!
NON-PROFIT STATUS
JDCC has been approved and we are in the process of
filing some other forms to get tax exemption status.
International Kosher Mexican Dinner
There will be a social gathering even other month with an
international kosher buffet-style dinner and fund raising event. Due to daylight savings
time starting in April, Shabbos ends late so dinner would be too late to serve. So the
second one will be held on June 12th, Sunday early evening at 5:00 p.m at the Soudakoff's.
The theme will be Mexican (meat). After this event, the next one will be in the fall.
New Teen Havurah
The Los Angeles Deaf Teen Havurah was formed in December, 1993, by a
group of eight deaf teens. The first activity was a Hanukkah party at the home of Brad
Cohen. The Teen Havurah has as its major goal that of providing activities and
get-togethers for Jewish deaf teens.
Sponsored in part by the National Congress of Jewish Deaf, the Teen
Havurah has counselors who are students at California State University, Northridge.
Upcoming activities for the group include a Dodger baseball game and a
trip to Magic Mountain. A weekend retreat is another idea being discussed and planned by
the counselors.
Interested deaf teens who would like to be involved with the group should
contact Brad Cohen at 818/346-2723 for more information.
