Hazak – For Active Seniors 55+
HAZAK IN A NUTSHELL
Hazak (Hokma for Wisdom, Zikna for Maturity and Kadima for Forward) is a wonderful program made through the combined efforts of EBJC, Jewish Family Services and Federation. September through June, we offer entertaining and thought provoking programs. We have six lunches, two dinners and two Sunday brunches to accommodate all of our seniors!
There is no charge for the program, but Jewish Family Services does ask for a suggested donation of $10.00 per person to offset the cost of the luncheon.
DUE TO THE COST OF HAVING TO ORDER EXTRA FOOD FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT BOTHER TO REGISTER, JFS IS REQUESTING A DONATION OF $8.00 FOR THE MEAL TO HELP OFFSET THE ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE. PLEASE MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO REGISTER ONLINE OR CALL THE OFFICE!
As we do offer lunch, it is imperative that everyone RSVP in advance to assure that there is enough food to go around (we never want to run out, but it has happened). Additionally, Jewish Family Services (JFS) is provided a government grant, called Cameo which supplements the program. However, in order for JFS to be reimbursed, they must have everyone register through them. No one will be contacted, the list will not be sold or given out, no emails will be sent and you won't be solicited. This is simply how they get reimbursed.
