WJOA Shabbat

For their address, please RSVP to Rebecca by Wednesday, October 12. There will be a sign-up sheet for what food you can bring (vegetarian only). Here is the Facebook event.

Eating in the Sukkah the Week of October 9th
Rebecca and Andrew invite WJOA members to come enjoy their sukkah this year by picking a day to eat in it. They will not be hosting these meals, so bring your own food and please take your trash with you. If you are interested in eating in the sukkah one of these days during the times listed below, please send an email to Jennifer, and she will confirm with you. Here is the Facebook event.

Community Meeting with Pizza! (and Survey)

Tuesday, November 1, 6:30–8:30pm
Come meet for pizza and discussion to talk about what you like about the group, what could use improvement, and what you want to see in the future. WJOA will provide pizza, and everyone else can bring snacks, drinks or dessert. This will be a hybrid event indoors and over Zoom. (To attend in person, you must show proof of vaccination.) To RSVP to either, send an email to Jonah. Here is the Facebook event.

Please also fill out a short survey (below) about WJOA by Wednesday, October 26. It takes just a few minutes, and your feedback will be very important as we plan events for the next year. Even if you can't make the meeting, please provide us with your feedback on our current offerings, and suggestions on how we might improve in the next year.
