INFORMATION/NOTES
•Have you ever done one of those DNA tests to learn more about your family tree and history? FVJN member Alysa Hwalisz recently contacted FVJN Executive Director Rachel Yackley and said she’d learned that they are distant cousins, from doing this type of DNA test! It’s truly a very small world, and you might be pleasantly surprised with what you learn!

•Shabbat Gatherings will resume in September.

•Chat with us! We now have a Facebook group! Please visit “Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors (FVJN) Group” and join! You can post anything relevant to FVJN, and communicate directly with other FVJN friends!

•Thank you for reading our weekly eNewsletter! Tell Rachel you read the eNews — rachely@fvjn.org  — and get entered into a raffle for a special prize!

•Are you interested in making FVJN what you’ve always wanted your local Jewish organization to be? There are so many ways to get involved: Join the Board, join and/or chair a committee, volunteer with events, and more! Contact Rachel rachely@fvjn.org with your interests and ideas, today!
