_*Board/Planning Meeting:
*_*When:* Thursday, December 7, 2006
*Time:* 6:30 PM Board Meeting / 7:00 PM Planning Meeting
*Where:* Jamie K's House, North Raleigh (Easy Access from All Parts of
the Triangle) *(RSVP For Directions)*
It's that time of the year again. It is time to plan TYJP events for
the next four months. If you have any ideas or suggestions for
activities or events for the time frame of January 1 through April 31,
2007, please feel free to come to the planning meeting. We are in need
of new volunteers and ideas. If you cannot attend the meeting, but have
any ideas, suggestions, or wish to volunteer for an event, please
contact Jamie Kennedy at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Also, if you have any interest in becoming
a member of the board, please let a current board member know, so that
we can discuss this at our meeting.
We will meet at Jamie's house for this meeting, to help facilitate easy
communication between all those who attend; we have had trouble in the
past with people hearing other people in noisy restaurants. TYJP will
provide some type of dinner. The type of food will depend on how many
people are coming. The Board will meet at 6:30 PM; the Planning Meeting
will start at 7:00 PM. To RSVP and receive directions to her house,
please contact Jamie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

*_Judaica Exhibit at the NC Museum of Art:_*
*When:* Sunday, December 10, 2006
*Time:* 2:00 PM
*Where:* NC Museum of Art, 2110 Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh NC (919 839-6262)
Welcome one and all to a guided tour of the newly remodeled Jewish
collection at the Museum of Art on Blue Ridge Road. We look forward to
seeing all of you as the learned docent takes on a trip back in time as
we learn about some of the Jewish history and artifacts new to the
museum in the current months. The NC Museum of Art is one of only two
art museums in the nation with a collection of Jewish ceremonial art;
the ceremonial art of the Jewish people is a rich and enduring legacy.
More than the expression of a particular faith, these objects address
the universal relationship between spiritual belief and artistic
imagination.
If people want afterward we could walk around the outside of the museum
and see the outdoor sculpture garden and trails or go to a local
establishment and have a bite to eat and shoomze.
We will meet at the entrance to the Jewish collection (down the main
stairs one flight, and to the right) to avoid being in the Monet lines
that meet in the front of the museum.
Admission is free to the museum and the permanent collections.
Have questions? Email Marjorie Z. ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

You're invited to attend this year's Game Day with your TYJP friends and

24th instead of the traditional 25th to take advantage of Monday
(December 25th) being a non-work day for most of us. There is sure to
be at least one game of Taboo going on somewhere in the house. Our host
has Scattergories and Scrabble but would like to encourage everyone to
bring their favorite, interactive/group game(s).
Please bring:
- a potluck dish (vegetarian, beef, or chicken dishes are acceptable --
please no pork) (soft drinks and some alcohol/wine/beer will be provided)
- your favorite game(s)
- a swimsuit and towel, if you would like to get in the hot tub
Please RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> by
Friday, December 22nd.
*_NOTE:_* There is plenty of room at Deb's if you "overindulge"
(intentionally or not) with the alcoholic beverages, or if you just do
not want to drive home late at night. If you know that you are planning
to stay overnight, please let Deb know in your RSVP.
================================================================
*_Dinner and a Movie at Beth Meyer Synagogue:_ (New Event)
**When:* Monday, December 25, 2006
*Time:* See Below
*Where:* Beth Meyer Synagogue, 504 Newton Road, Raleigh (919-848-1420)
*(RSVPs Required for Dinner)*
TYJP is invited to come join the fun for a relaxed evening of
schmoozing, tasty Asian food, and funny movies on Christmas Evening
(December 25th), in the Beth Meyer Synagogue social hall. The movie,
"Cars", will be projected on a screen at 4:30 for kids and
kids-at-heart. Dinner will be served around 6 or 6:30pm (depending on
when Cars finishes up), and the comedy movie 'Keeping up with the
Steins' will be shown on the big screen afterwards. This program is put
on by the Beth Meyer Men's Club, but everyone is welcome to attend. It
promises to be a great opportunity to spend time with other Jewish
people on what can often be a lonely night for Jews.
*The only fee is canned food for the food drive.* Otherwise, everything
else is free of charge. RSVPs are required for the dinner (so they'll
know how much food to get), but not for the movies. Please RSVP to Sara
D. ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) by Dec. 17th if
you plan to attend!

Hi! Hi, It's the end of a year. Yes, we all survived 2006 and are
staring down the home stretch before 2007. What's your new years
resolution going to be? Barnaby is going to jinx it for certain and let
you all in on his; he wants this to be the best TYJP New Years party
yet. So, come one, come all and let's make this the biggest, best New
Years party around.
Attire for the party will be black-tie *OPTIONAL*. That is heavy on the
optional; wear whatever you are comfortable with. Barnaby does not have
enough opportunities to dress up so he'll start the evening in a tux and
we will see how the party goes from there.
We are also going for try and break past years records for number of
people crashing for the night. Breakfast will be served on New Year's
day so there is no need to drive home in the early hours of the morning
unless you really want to. If you are planning on crashing just let him
know so he can have enough food for everyone on hand.
Bubbly at midnight (champagne and sparkling non-alcoholic cider).
So here's the deal: Show up on the 31st and bring your sweet selves and
any solid or liquid refreshment, and a sleeping bag and pillow
(optional). Come to party!
The party is happening at 108 Black Ridge St. in Morrisville. Please
RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. For any questions
Barnaby can also be reached at 656-8295.
