FILLING UP FAST!! - CALL TODAY

MORE THAN 120 ALREADY SIGNED UP !!

The Jewish Federation of Dutchess County is your representative in the global partnership of the Jewish people to take care for those in need, rescue those in danger and secure the Jewish future. We provide for Jewish Education, for elderly services, for Aliyah and absorption, for the care of vulnerable Jewish populations in the former USSR, in Ethiopia, in South America, and so much more. But none of it would be possible without a community providing us with its support. Our accomplishments are yours, and that is why we want to say "Thank you" in a special way.

On November 1st, from 2 PM tp 4PM, at the JCCDC, comedians Johnny Lampert and Sherry Davey bring their Shtik to Poughkeepsie as a Thank You from the Federation to you. The program is free and there will be no solicitation. Since the seating is limited, however, RSVP is required. Call (845) 471-9811 or email the Jewish Federation to let us know you're coming. Look for more details on the October issue of The Voice

This program is made possible in part thanks to funding from the Irving and Gloria Schlossberg Family Fund at the Community Foundation of Dutchess County
