FYI
We've come a long way!
There might be some who wouldn't agree with the sentiment of the following words, but we think it says something special.

For the last several weeks, we've held a Shabbat afternoon shiur on Pirkei Avot in the Center. The report from this past Shabbat was... "everything was good except that the room was too cold." Last Shabbat, if you remember, we were in the grips of a SHARAV. And at the Israel Center it was TOO COLD. How wonderful to hear, after years of people suffering and complaining about the heat at 10 Straus. Of course, we will adjust the thermostat more carefully from now on. And hopefully, people will not be TOO COLD at the Center. Neither during the winter nor the summer. But we cannot help but smile at the summertime complaint we had never heard before. Special thanks to those who contributed to our a/c campaign. Plaques will be up in the near future, IY"H.

Dear Mryna,
(our student volunteering project coordinator)
On behalf of Mercaz Harmony, I would like to thank you and the staff of Nitzotz for your support and assistance over the past year. 
We especially appreciate your help in recruiting volunteers from the boys’ yeshiva programs, as that has been difficult in the past.
Both the afternoon volunteering program at Gan Harmony and the Big Brother/Sister program were very successful, in no small part due to your efforts.

Throughout the year I have maintained contact with Ilana, your Sherut Leumi volunteer, and would like to mention that it was a pleasure working with her. I found her to be extremely responsible and dedicated. 
We look forward to working with you next year.
Sincerely, Jill Cohen-Bateman Volunteer Coordinator, Mercaz Harmony
