1. LAST CHANCE: REGISTER BY FRIDAY FOR JETHAWKS BASEBALL (SUNDAY JUNE 7)
This is your last chance. Registration for the Jethawks Baseball Family Event on Sunday, June 7 ends on Friday, June 5. Visit http://jethawks.tasnorthridge-motas.org to register. This event is an outing to “The Hanger” in Lancaster (about a hour drive from TAS) on a Sunday afternoon to see the Jethawks play. The cost will be $9 per person (with a slight convenience charge for online credit-card registrations). If you haven’t been to a minor-league baseball game, they are an order of magnitude more fun than an outing to the Dodgers. The stadium is small, the food is inexpensive, and the goal is just to have a great time. The Jethawks (http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t491) are the minor-league team for the Houston Astros. The game is an afternoon game, allowing us to arrive at the stadium, gather together for lunch, and not be out until the wee hours of the morning. It is also after religious school is over for the year, so we encourage you to bring your kids and grandkids. The more the merrier.
Note: If you print the form, it will show the total for your tickets as 0.00. That’s an artifact of Adobe Acrobat attempting to calculate the cost of 0 tickets. Just put in the correct total if you are filling out the form by hand. Ignore the deadline shown on the form.
Registration information may be found at jethawks.tasnorthridge-motas.org.
2. MOTAS COMEDY CLUB – SUNDAY JUNE 14
Continuing a tradition started by our Past President, our June meeting will bring back the MOTAS Comedy Club. Bring your best Jewish jokes to share with the group as we laugh at our last membership meeting for the 2014-2015 programming year. Unaccustomed as I am to extemporaneous public speaker, I might even ask Bob to be our Master of Ceremonies. As usual, we start with breakfast at 8:45 AM, followed by our activity review at 9:00 AM and the comedy club at 10:00 AM.
3. JUNE MENS HANGOUT – SUNDAY EVENING JUNE 14
Our last Mens Only Hangout for the 2014-2015 programming year is scheduled for 7PM on June 14, the evening of our June meeting. If you would be interesting in joining the hang-out, please contact Dave Friedman at dave@818myhouse.com. In order to confirm that the event will occur, we need your RSVP to Dave.
