SyraJews

It's Kayitz (summer)!

Wednesday, July 15, 6 pm: Kickball and Picnic! We just can't get enough at the JCC (5655 Thompson Rd, DeWitt).

Tuesday, July 21, 7pm: Night out at the Rosamond Gifford Burnet Park Zoo. Meet us at the Lions at 7pm and bring or buy your picnic lunch. A departure from the usual events at SyraJews...you've never been to the zoo if you haven't been after hours. Join SyraJews there. Admission price (towards a good cause) is: $6.50 advance sale, $8.00 at the door.

A couple more summer resources:

The forum on syrajews.org is the mothership for telling us what you need. Use the forum to throw down information on happenings in and around Syracuse, to advertise for a roommate or an apartment, to share ideas on where to go, what to do, and/or to star in our storyboard on why you moved (back) to Syracuse. Rock the forum.

New Outdoors Listserv

Do you love the outdoors? Enjoy hiking, skiing, snowshoeing? SyraJews is looking for a coordinator for its new SyraJews Outdoors listserv. This opt-in list would enable members who share these interests to contact each other to plan outdoor events or simply invite others along (i.e., "Going to Green Lakes on Sunday at 3:00 -- any takers?"). Think you'd like to do this? Contact us at syrajews@gmail.com and let us know. If you're interested in just being on this listserve, email us as well.

Enjoy the kayitz, pals!
