Raymore, MO Cub Scouts

The Raymore Cub Scouts had a little ethnic fair, and invited the Ethnic Enrichment Commission.  Deb brought our craft table with coloring pages, maps and easy-to-read brochures about Israel.

Ethnic Enrichment Festival - 18-20 Aug 2017

The festival again attracted a large crowd, but luckily for us, it wasn't a new record:  45,000 people.  Our booth was easily seen from all spots in the festival, and the flags flew proudly.

Yes, the shelves really are level.

Really.  If only the booth studs were plumb!

And our front counter is also level.  Crazy, huh?  Thanks to Dick and his handy level.

Yom HaAtzmaut at Jewish Community Center

Israel Spirit made the food for Yom HaAtzmaut (Israel's independence day) again this year.  We had falafel with two salads and sauces, fish sticks, Bamba, potato chips, pop and halvah.  We broke even on the money and will donate our overage to a charity in Israel.  Here are photos of some of the wonderful volunteers:

Asian Festival

Deb brought the Israel Spirit table (for half the day), and the Tikvah dancers performed twice.  TJ and Erin stopped by to keep Deb company for a while.  This is a big festival.
