@@@@@@@IT’S ALMOST HANUKKAH!! @@@@@@@

That means Hillel needs a Hanukkah Ball Decorating Committee!!! It’s a lot of fun and makes the event really special.  (14′s- this is a great way to get involved and help out!).  Decorating committee is responsible for setting up the Hanukkah ball a few hours before it begins- hanging streamers and other festive thigns- and for taking them down after the ball is over. Blitz Hillel if you’re interested!

Joke of the Week:
Cyril had just retired and was having a discussion with his wife Ethel on what the future might hold for them. _”What will you do if I die before you?” Cyril asks. _After some thought, Ethel replies, “Oh, I’ll probably look to share a house with three other single or widowed women. As I’m still quite active, the other three could be a little younger than me.” _Then Ethel asks Cyril, “What will you do if I die first?” _Cyril replies, “Probably the same thing.”
