Attention All District 15 Parents

Effective January 11, 2010, District 15 has established a transportation website  Lawrence.org.  (click on Programs and then Private School Page). 
  
All District 15 parents are REQUIRED to register their children who attend school in order to receive transportation and textbooks for next year. The District has advised us that registration must be done by March 31, 2010.  The District WILL NOT be mailing transportation request forms.  Registration must be made via the website. 
  
Please note that anyone who registers after the deadline of April 1, 2010 will not be guaranteed a bus route.  If you switch schools after that date, you have to call the District 15 office to arrange transportation. 
  
It is imperative that you register your children as soon as possible so there will be no issues regarding transportation for the 2010 school year.

B'Nei Brith Long Island 1353 Matza Fund

With Purim behind us, the effort is on in earnest for the forthcoming Festival of Passover, with the coming of spring. We hope you are well, and in good spirits!

As is our custom, at this time, to commence our annual Matza Fund drive for the needy among us, even in the vaunted Five Towns, and its environs. Indeed, it is in the Haggada the injunction to beckon "whoever is hungry let him come to eat." It is a privilege to participate in this mitzva, a most positive and spiritually-elevating experience. Please make a donation payable to L.I. Lodge, B'B', and send it to: P.O. Box 51, Woodmere, NY 11598.
