Here's an Update from Ellen
Hi Everyone,

Well, the RSVP's are coming in. Srping is here and
the family seder is coming up.

So far the following people are probably coming:
(Should we say G_d willing?)

Minnie, Carl, Richard and Joan and maybe Evan, Judy
and Dom and their daughters (Liz and Jo) and maybe
Dom's mother, Fred and Ellen and their daughters
(Carly and Lisa) and the girls' boyfriends Ben and
Joey, Mark and Debbie and Ben and maybe Debbie's
niece April Ganis, Iris and Mike and maybe Iris's
son Avi.

Jeff and Jane cannot make it this year, nor can
Jerry and Blythe and their kids, Elaine (Fred's
mother) and her friend Sid, Jenna and Viv, Iris's
daughter Francie.

Eagerly awaiting news of the others....

The big excitement here is that Fred is leaving for
South Africa on Thursday to see Jenna and Viv and
of course their new house. What's new in your neck
of the woods?

Love,
Ellen
(Thanks to Rick for being our webmaster!)

OH -- found a tasty South African Chardonnay that I
will be bringing - Backsberg! From Jenna's town,
but kosher for Passover!

DID YOU NOTICE ?
Hello again everyone. I don't know if anyone has actually checked out the "link" on the right side of the page (it says "Learn More about Passover - Click here you will leave our site"), but it is pretty awesome. It has information about the History of Passover (more than just what is in the Haggadah) as well as such interesting tidbits as the difference between Sephardic and Ashkenazi customs. Well worth a click if you have the time.

Also, a personal plug from your Webmaster, please vist my site, CYBERMALL2K.COM and check out some of the great deals. There are links to Overstock.com (which has great deals on everything including Airline Tickets), Buy.com (great for computer stuff and electronics) and even Amazon.com.

Finally, please leave us some feedback and let us know if you have any pictures or material you would like posted.

DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR PERSONSAL INVITE ????
Hi everyone. Ellen did such a fantastic job once again on these invitations. Let's all give her a big THANK YOU and show her our appreciation by RSVP'ing.

A NOTE FROM COUSIN ELLEN

Welcome to 2006
Hi everyone!

Seder time is rapidly approaching!! Hope you have all received the invitation. (If you are aware of anyone who should have received one, but didn't, please let Ellen know. I would hate to have left someone out by mistake!)

Also -- though it may be obvious to you that you are either coming or not coming, it would be really helpful if you email nobred4u@aol.com to let me know.

It has been quite a year -- as always, life has ways of bringing both the good, the bad and the ugly. Hoping to celebrate "the good" with you all at the seder on April 13, 2006.

Any comments, stories, questions??? Let's post'em here!

Love,
Ellen

It's a Done Deal
Well.....Passover 2005 is history! The attached photo was taken after dinner --- we missed all of you who were unable to attend. And we thank those who came for traveling from far and wide (California, upstate NY, Boston, Mass, Connecticut, Brooklyn, etc.) to attend this family event. We thank the charoses-makers -- Judy and Mark and the "wine and candy donators". We thank Carl for leading the service and Mike for adding the Hebrew and of course we all thank Minnie and Carl for the dinner. So -- if you need lots of time to prepare -- next year's seder will be April 13, 2006 -- same time, same place!!! (I had better start working on the invitation!) Enjoy the photo -- more to be sent.

Love, Ellen

And the winner is.......
Hello again all. We are down to the wire, only 11 days away. Can you believe it? In case someone missed Ellen's beautiful art work, here it is for you all to see. Also, if anyone needs "turn-by-turn" directions from their house, here it is again from my January 15th post:

Hi again Everyone
Hi again Everyone ~

Well, the invitations are in the mail and the excitement is starting to build. Be sure to let me know if no invitation arrives at your door and keep those RSVP's coming in as soon as you know what's what. We have 39 people on the invitation list, but many will not be coming this year - such as Jerry's wife and kids from California (Jerry is coming though!), Fred's mother Elaine, and college kids -- well that remains to be seen who will be able to join us -- the more, the merrier for sure.

See you all soon.
Love,
Ellen
