Purim

Join us in celebrating Purim! 

On Sat. Feb. 27, we will have a megillah reading (to tell the story of Purim) and a costume cocktail party.  This really will be "the whole megillah" - kids who can sit through it are welcome.

• Location:  The 7th floor common room of McGuire Apts, in Belltown - 210 Wall St., at the corner of 2nd Ave.
• Time:  7:00 - 9:30pm.
• Schedule:  We'll start with Havdalah to mark the end of Shabbat, then get immediately into the megillah.  Then, a cocktail party.
• Bring:  Your favorite drink, to share (alcoholic or not, whatever you prefer).
• Also Bring:  Your own mug (this is an eco-measure), and a pot to bang on (or other form of noise).
• Wear:  A costume.  (Yeah!)
• Volunteer:  We still need people to help out.  Please use this sign-up sheet to volunter for a task.
• Note:  It's in the common room of a condo building.  We will have volunteers standing by in shifts early on to let people in. If you can't get in, buzz "Smith, J."
