COMMUNITY NEWS
CAA
members Sid and Vicki Schain went back to the UK to
visit their daughter Sheila and were allowed to watch
and video her installation ceremonies as Mayor of
Cambridge. The city historians were not certain but
thought that she was only the 14th woman to fill the
slot and the first Yank and JAP as well. Attached are
a couple of pics of the publicity. She reviewed a
regiment of Brits returning from Afghanistan...BBC took
pics of the parade...the url for that follows: Sheshows
up on the 5th shot. There's a shot of her being handed a
crystal bowl...that's for completing the donation of 75
pts of Blood in the 19 years she's been there. She still
has her day job as well.

Thank
you to Oshra Rapaport and her hard working committee for
planning and executing a wonderful picnic last night

weather perfect! The games fun! The company
outstanding! Thank all of you who came and enjoyed
yourselves, we wish you all could have been there with
us enjoying the Ahavath Achim annual picnic. We'll see

CELL PHONE RECYCLING FUNDRAISER The Ahavath Achim cell phone fundraiser is winding down but we still need your help to guarantee it a great success. Please bring any used cell phones to the synagogue any Shabbat or the High Holydays. There will be a collection box available to receive your old phones in the foyer. Please ask your family and friends for any cell phones they are no longer using for our recycling program and fundraiser. We have already sent out one large batch and we would like to meet or exceed those numbers with our final shipment after the Holydays. We do not need the chargers or accessories, just your unwanted cell phones.
Thank you for your support! For more information contact Richard Matza 503-318-3732 or pdxmatza@aol.com.
