MCJC Hanukkah Party

Sunday, December 29th (fifth candle) at the Caspar Community Center, 4:00 PM —

The much-anticipated MCJC Hanukkah Party and Second Annual Latke taste-off will take place. Menorah lighting, karaoke, raffle drawing, and latke-tasting contest. There will be music from the incomparable Klezmishpoche and dancing.

As with last year, bring latkes—as many as you’d like, from none to many. We will heat them in the CCC kitchen. If your latkes are especially good, enter a sample in the latke taste-off.

We need many volunteers to make this BIG party happen, so if you are good with potatoes, or with setting up, or with serving, or with cleaning up, please contact Joy Lancaster at ajoylancaster@gmail.com or call her at (510) 703-9955. It’s a mitzvah!

To add your musical talents to the proceedings—instrumental or vocal—OR maybe you wanna dance, please contact Jennifer Kreger soon at refinnej@mcn.org.

To donate a prize for the raffle, contact Susan Tubbesing at (707) 962-0565 or susan.tubbesing@gmail.com
