Welcome to ESCA

December, 2009
Jack Frost isn't exactly nipping at our noses but with Chanukah on the horizon it must be winter. The last two months have been fruitful and exciting for us, and the next two hold the promise of mid-winter camaraderie and companionship. Read on to learn what has been and what lies in store.

Have a wonderful 2010


 

The past year (2008/9) was our Jubilee year. We had a wonderful 25th anniversary party. We had a variety of activities throughout the year despite having to dodge those rockets and bombs. Food Night was a smash as always, only better. Our Give A Kid A Break Fund drew more donations than ever, bringing much needed help to children who otherwise wouldn't have the basics. Book Night attracted new participants who, it is to be hoped, will become dedicated bookworms. Our bowling night hit the spot, as well as the occasional bowling pin. Purim was so much fun – and so delicious! Lag B'Omer pretty much wrapped up the year which officially came to a close with a visit to Tel Aviv, now 100 years old. But we're not done yet! There's still our Jerusalem trip coming up, which we hope will bring this most successful year to it's inevitable close – and lead to new beginnings in the year to come.

 


If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas or thoughts you would like to share with us (concerning this web site), drop us a message. We promise to read everything and refer to it seriously.

 

CHAI means alive, and also the number 18. Everyone who donates double Chai (36 NIS) or more will be featured in our "To Life!" section. So give life to ESCA and enjoy it. Of course, anonymous gifts will also be appreciated. An idea for a present for one who has it all.Want to give more? 100 NIS makes you a CENTURY DONOR; 50 NIS a JUBILEE DONOR.
 
Thanks for remembering us again (and again) Sarah Verulkar, Raymond Abraham and David Sassoon came through with a Jubilee donation for the club.

In fond memory: For the blessed memory of his dear wife Betty Shwartz, ob"m, Mike has donated a Century contribution to the club.

Thanks for all those stamped envelopes - to Chana who gives "in honor of all my friends in ESCA".

Note: All donations to ESCA are used for mailing our newsletter and for basic refreshments at our events.
