Howdy Partners,

Have you bought your tickets yet for the upcoming Annual "Good Times Forever" Camp Hatikvah Fundraiser? We are thrilled that so many of you are planning on coming. If you haven't bought tickets and would like to, pleaes give us a call in the office 604-263-1200 or email admin@camphatikvah.com. The money raised at this fundraiser helps to send children to camp who otherwise could not afford to go. We appreciate your support always! It is going to be a great night, filled with food, friends, laughs and of course a stamping, yee-hawing hoe down!!

Did you know there is a camp fair taking place on Thursday, February 2, 2012? It will be taking place at the JCC from 3:30-7:00. We'd love to see your smiling faces so come drop by and say hello. Spread the word, if you know somebody who would like to come to camp you should encourage them to come and check out our booth at the fair. If anyone would like a house visit, I am happy to come and meet with you to answer any questions about camp!

Registration forms need to be into the office ASAP. I know it is a busy time of year and hard to imagine that we are already planning for the summer, but it is very important to get your forms in before we are all filled up for summer 2012.

Did you know Camp Hatikvah was featured in an article in the Jewish Independent Paper? It was highlighting the importance of Jewish camping experiences for children to create lasting friendships and meaningful connections to their Jewish roots. Camp Hatikvah provides children with life long friendships with Jewish youth from all over the world, not just Vancouver. We have campers from Alberta, Montreal, Ontario, California, Mexico and Israel!

Speak to you all soon!

Best,

Liza
