This Sunday, March 1 from 3:00-4:00PM, please join Cleveland’s own Jewish Orthodox Cub Scouts, Pack 613, as we make Mishloach Manos for members of the community.

We’ll also be working on Achievements in our Scout Handbooks.  Please bring your Handbooks and come dressed in your Scout uniforms (if you have them already).  Cub Scouts in 1st grade should be accompanied by a parent.

For information on the location of this meeting, please email Rachel Taylor at marketintel@earthlink.net or call (323) 574-8080.

Three years ago, I was diagnosed with adrenal cancer. It’s usually (as in my case) caught very, or too, late. Though the original tumor, which weighed over a kilo, was removed, he cancer has returned time and again after multiple surgeries, chemo, and radiation. I am now looking at enrolling in a clinical trial, which is essentially the desperation stage. This is one of the rarest and deadliest forms of cancer and my prognosis is that I have a 25% chance of living five years as of diagnosis. I am now three years out from original diagnosis. My bakery, Lax and Mandel Bakery, has taken a downturn because I’ve been unable to work.

Many people were unaware this Tuesday morning that CH-UH schools had cancelled and therefore there was no bus service.

If you live in CHUH, either go to WKYC Text Alerts to sign up for text alerts when schools relevant to you are closed (yes, this is free) or contact CHUH schools to get on their phone reminder list that sends out information for things like school closings (and a few other things you won’t care about but can safely ignore…)

Thursday night is another cold night, so even though it’s late in the season, sign up now to be notified.  These lists persist from year to year so you will not have to sign up next year.
