NCSY Alumni Director - Rabbi Dave Felsenthal
 I love being reacquainted with old friends! Now that the chagim are over, it is time to plan some alumni reunions. As usual, I have some ideas as to what I'd like to see BUT I really would rather the reunions come from you all out there in alumni land! In the past two years we have had reunion events in Israel (2), New Jersey (3), Kansas City (1), Seaboard (1) that I know of. I've had inquiries from Chicago, Toronto and Las Angeles but only one or two. If any of you would love to sink your teeth into planning a reunion or have any great reunion ideas, please let me know - now!!! Reunion Input
Let's get together soon,
Rabbi Dave Felsenthal

Congrats to Etan Goldman for correctly identifying Jon Green's T-Shirt in Last weeks Picture (Including knowing that the picture was recent and not from 1990 as the shirt implied by knowing Jon just a little bit too well;)
