Message from the President Shalom, Chaverim!  Got Summer?  The Jews’ Next Dor newsletter is back, and so are we – in full force with many events ahead.    I want to begin this letter by thanking Aleeza Abramovitz, Immediate Past President, for her five years of service.  I can easily say on behalf of everyone in JND, that Aleeza’s constant passion, dedication and guidance have made JND what it is today.  Thank you again for your selfless work and dedication for all of us. In light of this, Jews’ Next Dor is now in transition!   My name is Sari Wisch and I am honored to be the new President.  I have been an active JND member for the past 1.5 years and look forward to the next year of JND.   We have many events and programs ahead, and I invite all Jews in their 20’s and 30’s to join our programs.  So keep an eye on our Save the Date section. First off, we’re continuing one of our new monthly events, Last Thursday Laser Tag.  Try it once and you’ll be hooked.  Want to get some fresh air and explore the Bay Area’s back yard?  JND is teaming up with Yidventure for another great outdoor event, Marin Headlands Extravaganza. And what would Summer be without a JND July 4th Kosher Barbecue?  How much better is it with a July 5th Trip to Great America? This upcoming Volunteer Meeting will be more important than most as we reorganize our Governing Committee!  So please come and be heard or see how you can help.
