NESTO - NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKING TEEN OLIM
We're Back!!!!
After a month away from the pages of Torah Tidbits we are gearing up for the restart of our programming year. Just because I didn't write, doesn't mean we weren't working.

During the past month I have continued to seek an increase of our madrichim staff, reevaluate our program offerings, target schools that have a large Anglo population in order to increase our membership, and develope better ways to spread our organizations name.
The first board meeting for the year where we will calendar out events until the end of December is scheduled for Wednesday August 22, and the following week we will sponsor an end-of-the-summer get together.
As always, I am open to sugesstions for new programs and trips, and look forward to hearing from the TT readership for their helpful insights and comments.

Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Avi
