Dear Friends,

I am delighted to report that our (YAD) Young Adult Division’s 5th Annual Vodka Latke Holiday Benefit Event was a huge success on December 17th! Please know that you played a pivotal role in the success of this year’s event. Thanks to your generous support and in-kind services, our event participants enjoyed wonderful prize drawings from the raffle, an attractive variety of great silent auction items throughout the event, which supports critically needed programs and services right here in Santa Barbara, along with cutting edge entertainment and lots of Chanukah fun. We truly hope that you will join us again next year!

Your generosity enables Federation to give children scholarships for summer camp and pre-school; provide respite via our JFS programs; teach impressionable teens about leadership through Portraits of Survival/Mis Tres Caras; and empowers Jewish identity and builds community and leadership among young adults… Our future is now. The Jewish Federation provides social service programs, which includes senior services, counseling, volunteer programs, community education and rescue & relief. No matter one’s age, ethnicity, religion, gender, etc., our programs are open to all.

Thank you once again, for supporting the Jewish Federation YAD Campaign and for the commitment you have shown to the Santa Barbara community.

YAD Campaign Committee rocks!
