Thank you to everyone who attended and helped run the PURIM CARNIVAL. With popcorn, cotton candy and a fully-decorated Social Hall, everyone who attended remarked that this was the best Purim Carnival in recent memory. Special thanks to Tali Linton and David Nathanson for their set-up help, as well as Jason Burger and Stacey Robustelli for their Guitar Hero donations. Pictures from the Purim Carnival are on our website.
