I'm Jenifer, your trusty tour guide to All Things Jewish. This is how it all works. I begin to compile announcements on Thursday morning, and you get them Thursday evening. Unfortunately (yes, Virginia, there is a glich) most exciting and fabalicious announcements dont usually come in until Friday (as late as 11am). So here's what we'll do. You can mail me (105 Earl Hall, c/o Jenifer) or call in any announcement and I'll put it on the E-Mail exclusive (for those intimate messages from one E-Mailer to another) or slap it on our announcements to reach all the services (for maximum impact). And if you call me Friday before 1 (after 11:30 is best), I'll give you: The Shabbat Announcements, Unauthorized and Unexpurgated (854-5111). That should keep your finger firmly planted on the pulse that is ... The Jewish Office. Until next week, as the immortal Casey Kasem says: Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars. ******************** I hope you enjoyed this edition of the Jewish Electronic Calendar.
