Hello Shomrim family, I hope this March finds you all well and thawed out from all the February snow we had. I just recently spoke with Marvin Goldsmith the President of Southern California Shomrim and he told me it's in the 70's and beautiful over there. Let's all hope for rain in California for the next month.

Our Annual Dinner/Dance is quickly approaching. Sunday March 14th is the date and I've been told it looks like we will have a nice turn out. I would love to see a lot of new faces at the dinner so let's try to convince some of our new members to attend. Murray and Marty have been working their tails off to make this a great event (they always do a great job).

The Rabbi Jack M. Sable Passover Distribution is also approaching. This is Shomrim's finest hour and we need all our members to participate. Please contact Sister Mindy Fisher who is chairing this event to find out what you can do. The packaging is on Friday March 26th and I urge all of you to attend. The actual distribution will be on Sunday March 28th please come down in uniform and participate because this is what being a Jew is all about.

To all the past Shomrim Presidents I've had e-mails sent out asking if anyone would be interested in a past Presidents party. I would like to honor all of you for your work in Shomrim because without you we would not be here today. So far I have about 15 positive responses so it looks like this will be going through. No date has been set as of yet but I'm looking for a day in June right before the summer break.

Speaking of June and without getting ahead of myself I just wanted to give everyone a heads up for the Father's day picnic. I have been exploring the idea of having the BBQ at a Brooklyn Cyclones game or Staten Island Yankee game. So far it looks good both stadiums seem receptive to the idea. I'll keep you posted.

See you all on the dance floor March 14th .......
