JUF Presents STAND UP CHICAGO

Join us for an evening of community, solidarity, and laughter on behalf of the 2009 Jewish United Fund-Israel Emergency Fund. JUF presents STAND UP CHICAGO on Monday, August 3, 2009, featuring an evening with Don Rickles. The event will be held at the Auditorium Theatre (50 East Congress Parkway, Chicago). Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and the program will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 per person and must be purchased in advance through the JUF Website. Attendance at this event requires that each attendee make a meaningful commitment to the 2009 Jewish United Fund-Israel Emergency Fund. Your gift can be paid in installments and is not due in full until December of 2009. For more information please call 312-553-3530 or email StandUpChicago@juf.org.

Fall Insights will either be held on Thursday, October 22 or Thursday, October 29, please save the dates.

The goal of Insights is to reach out to women in our community, and educate them on JUF and other current topics. At the program, you will have the opportunity to learn about JUF’s vital efforts to help Jews here in Chicago, Israel and around the world. Past Insights programs have included Sarah Preston and Andrea Rubin at Landmark Grill and Lounge, Julie Strauss at Pearl Furniture and The Hungry Hound, Steve Dolinsky, at Joey’s Brickhouse. Contact YWC at YWCcouncil@juf.org with questions or to serve on the event committee.

In conjunction with JUF’s Tikkun Olam Network (TOV), the Young Women’s City (YWC) Council will coordinate special volunteer opportunities for groups of women throughout the year. Locations will be announced upon receipt of reservations. Limited spaces are available for each program. Please contact Elissa at YWCcouncil@juf.org for more information or to RSVP.
