Known for pioneering new medical<br />
techniques, the Hadassah Medical Center<br />
is furnished with the most sophisticated<br />
diagnostic, treatment and research<br />
equipment. People from across<br />
the Middle East turn to Hadassah for<br />
hope, and they are treated alongside<br />
patients from the Mediterranean Basin,<br />
Europe, South America and the United<br />
States. Annually, Hadassah serves<br />
nearly one million people.<br />
Medical miracles happen daily at Hadassah<br />
Hospitals, but we are also involved<br />
in miracles of a different kind. At<br />
Hadassah College Jerusalem and our<br />
Youth Aliyah Villages, students from<br />
challenged backgrounds become full<br />
participants in the Israeli workforce. We<br />
provide at-risk children with the nurturing<br />
and education they need to become<br />
successful citizens of Israel.<br />
Our Young Judaea camps and programs<br />
bring American teens to Israel,<br />
providing the foundation for the next<br />
generation of Jewish leaders.<br />
Through the Jewish National Fund,<br />
we are full partners in rebuilding the<br />
land. You can help us! When you support<br />
the activities of the Greater Washington<br />
Area Chapter, you help ensure<br />
the future of the State of Israel.<br />
Once again, we will be offering Flowers<br />
for the Holidays. Order a bouquet of<br />
cut flowers, a floral arrangement or a<br />
blooming plant delivered by a local florist.<br />
Prices vary, see the Flower Flyer in<br />
your Group bulletins or check the Chapter<br />
website for more information.<br />
Consider becoming a Seed or a Keeper<br />
of the Gate. Seeds of Tomorrow is a<br />
Greater Washington program and involves<br />
a $500 contribution per year.<br />
Keepers of the Gate is a National Hadassah<br />
program and involves a $1,000<br />
annual contribution for as long as you<br />
are able. As a Seed or a Keeper, you can<br />
attend any Chapter or Group function<br />
that has a donation as part of the admission<br />
price for the couvert price only.<br />
For example, you can attend Hadassah<br />
Presents for the couvert only. Contact<br />
the office for further information.<br />
For a minimum $2500 contribution,<br />
$1800 if you are a first-time attendee,<br />
(plus couvert of $125 pp) you can attend<br />
our Special Gifts Gala Dinner on October<br />
5 at the Woodmont Country Club.<br />
If these programs are out of your<br />
reach, a new Greater Washington Area<br />
level of giving is making its debut. The<br />
Chai Club will have a minimum contribution<br />
of $180. Details will be available<br />
soon. As always, cards, certificates and<br />
Entertainment Books are available<br />
through your Group or the Chapter office.<br />
Remember, Hadassah’s success depends<br />
on our commitment. Thank you<br />
for any contribution that you can make.<br />
