IMPORTANT CALENDAR ANNOUNCEMENT
We are rescheduling two of Habonim's signature events:
The annual Gala is moving from Thursday, February 6, 2020 to Sunday, May 17, 2020. This move will help ensure that the Gala is a fitting commemoration of our 80th Anniversary, capping our year at a time that will allow more of our members to attend.
The Nursery School Fundraiser is moving from Thursday, December 12, 2019 to Thursday, February 6, 2020. This move puts the Fundraiser back to its traditional spot on the Habonim calendar and avoids conflicts with other year-end events.
We look forward to seeing you at both of these fun and meaningful events, which recognize and honor members of our community and help support all of the wonderful programs offered by Habonim.
