May 6, 2012 ~ 10AM - 2 PM - BIG SUNDAY!
|  Workmen's Circle will be a Hub site for Big Sunday in collaboration with the Sholem Community and Camp Gilboa.
What is Big Sunday?
Our mission is to build community through community service. We believe that everyone has some way to help somebody else. Last year on Big Sunday, 50,000 volunteers lent a hand at over 500 different projects from San Diego to San Francisco, making Big Sunday Weekend one of the largest regional community service events in America.
Please bring clothes, household items, books, and/or non-perishable food to donate. We will be bringing donations to the National Council of Jewish Women thrift store and SOVA food bank.
If you'd like to Knit beanies for ill babies, bring your knitting supplies!
Featuring entertainment and participatory songs by KPFK favorite Uncle Ruthie!
Activities at our Site:
- Knit: Beanies, knitted socks and blankets go to ailing babies.
- Decorate cookies: Make cards and cards and bring them to a local seniors center
- Crafts activities: Making flower pot decorations
- Collect change for charity: The money goes to The Hero Initiative, which helps pay medical bills for retired comic book writers with no health insurance.
- Help Jewish World Watch: Help fight genocide in Darfur through Jewish World Watch's Solar Cooker Project.
- Collect Donations of food + clothing to donate to NCJW thrift store
- Educational Activity: Students will engage in a discussion about giving and social change.
- Entertainment by Uncle Ruthie

LIMITED TIME OFFER! Sale of Cemetery Plots!!

Limited Time Offer!
Sale of Cemetery Plots to Arbeter Ring Members!
To our members (and prospective members):
One of the historic benefits Arbeter Ring has always offered to our members is reasonably-priced cemetery plots. We have several remaining plots in the beautiful Mount Shalom South section at Eden Memorial Park which we are offering to our members at well below market rate. This section is sold out, but if plots were available there or in comparable sections, they would go for upwards of $9000 each. We are offering these plots to our members at the very attractive price of $6500, but only until Rosh Hashone this fall, that is, for about six months, or as long as they last. At that point, if we have any left, we will open up sales to the general public, and we are confident they will sell quickly. This will be your last opportunity to purchase plots from us, because we do not expect to ever make this benefit available again in Southern California. Please contact our office at 310.552.2007 for further details.
