The movie on June 24 is A Better Life, a 2011 American drama. It follows an undocumented immigrant gardener and his son. It brings to life politically loaded issues without being suffused with cliches and rhetoric. Demián Bichir was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. It can be viewed on Netflix and Prime.

Join our Investment Committee
(No Experience Required!)
|
|
Did you know that we have a professionally managed investment account?
One of the most important sources of revenue, which allows our section to do its important work, is our investment portfolio. Income generated by this portfolio provides funds for our many projects as well as our operating needs.
We have a committee that meets (only) four times a year with our investment advisors, Halbert Hargrove Global Advisors. We are looking for a few interested members to serve on this important committee. NO experience or expertise is required. It is a great opportunity to learn more about investments, the financial marketplace and, of course, NCJW.

Wouldn't it be fun to bake a birthday cake for a foster child?
For Goodness Cakes gives underprivileged youth in the foster care system the chance to have a birthday by matching volunteers to bake special cakes just for them. Its mission is to give individual youth one special moment that is about them, helping to nurture optimism and confidence at a critical age. A wonderful and meaningful opportunity for our Section to get involved.
How it works: For Goodness Cakes receives requests from nonprofits that work with at-risk youth for cake orders. After you complete an online orientation and quiz, you become part of the Sprinkle Squad, which lets you to pick a cake-making assignment according to YOUR schedule.
