Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We have alot going in the coming months.
We were able to get tickets to the Anne Frank exhibit in New York City, and the demand was so popular that it sold out so quickly that we had to schedule a second date. March 11th, is our second date and as of this writing, we still have tickets available for anyone interested in coming and joining Shomrim on this fantastic adventure. Please turnout to this and other events as so much preparation has gone into them.
Happy Purim to all. This year Purim is on Friday March 14th. It is a short day this year, and I want to wish everyone a Purim Sameach. Please drink responsibly and always have a designated driver to get you home before the Sabbath begins.
Passover distribution is coming up. Friday April 4th we will be packaging and on Sunday April 6th, we will be distributing packages to families in need. Please join us and help us in this amazing mitzvah in helping those who are less fortunate and giving them meals, hopefully with eggs, for the holiday.
Police week will be Monday May 12 thru Thursday May 15th in Washington D.C. Please consider coming down for our National Shomrim Society Kaddish Service. It is scheduled for Tuesday, May 13th, at 0930 AM at Judiciary Square.
We have secured a date for our annual shomrim dinner dance. Please mark your calendars. Thursday, June 5th at Da Mikele Palazzo in Queens. This will be a great event, and I am hoping to see you all there.
Celebrate Israel Parade, Sunday May 18th. This is a fantastic day and one of my favorite events of Shomrim where we proudly march along 5th Ave and show presence on how proud we are to be Jewish Police Officers and support Israel. Now more than ever we need to show our support. We need all the hostages to be released NOW and reunited with their loving families. “Am Yisroel Chai.”
Check the Events Box on page 1, page 3 and our website for more exciting events.
Please watch out for each other and always stay safe.
Fraternally,
Benjamin Gelber
President
