| The Latest News from Camp Moshava |  |
Last Tuesday evening over 50 women and men from across Chicago and the Northern Suburbs joined together at Congregation Or Torah to Mahj for Mosh. This was the second annual Moshava Mah Jongg Madness event, bringing together people with two loves, Mah Jongg and Moshava Wild Rose. With numerous prize giveaways and a cash raffle, the excitement was electric. What a treat it was for the partipants to see the many ways in which the game can be played, and the people of many ages that are excited about the game. The first hour was designated as the tutorial hour and we had a great turn out of women who wanted to learn to play. So, keep your eyes and ears open for next year's invitation to the Moshava Mah Jongg Madness event to help support Camp Moshava, and if you want to learn to play the game we will be there to teach you.
Yesterday, on the eve of Yom HaZikaron, Camp Moshava of Wild Rose, WI hosted a screening of "Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story." Ari Pinchot, the films director, spoke to the large crowd about Operation Entebbe and Israels commitment to protect the Jewish people.

Camp Case: Camp Moshava, Wild Rose
By Rivkie Lafer
Chairman of the Camp Committee, Camp Moshava, Wild Rose
Camp Moshava's relationship with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation goes back more than a decade. Working with the Grinspoon Foundation has helped Camp Moshava, Wild Rose in many significant ways. The matching grant incentive programs throughout the years have allowed the Camp to attract and leverage donor contributions; they've resulted in substantial capital improvements, including an air conditioned gymnasium (2005) and a brand new pool with adjacent changing rooms and shower houses (2006). The matching grants also allowed us to deal with long overdue deferred maintenance.
Grinspoon Institute Technology Program Manager, Kevin Martone, has helped us with our technology, including assistance selecting and implementing CampMinder, which has changed the way we utilize our database to maintain our records and build relationships...
