We have already collected and delivered over a thousand dollars to the fund in his memory at Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union, which is matching donations up to $10,000--and we will continue collecting donations to add to that fund. If you want to make a donation to honor his memory and his work, please click here to do so, or you can send in or drop off a check at our office with "IMO Officer Patrick" in the memo line.

Well, this week USY on Wheels bus "B" visited Beth Jacob! On our way out of Omaha, we found ourselves without our planned dinner, and a BIG thanks to Steve Rosenthal and Sean Murphy for throwing together an awesome dinner for all the Wheelniks of bus "B" at the last minute! Of course, some of our own BJUSYers came out to extend some BJUSY hospitality!
Shabbat Shalom,
Ben
