To The Penn Club of Israel:

Congratulations on all the worthly undertakings The Penn Club of Israel is engaging in and my gratitude to your board for its service.

From time-to-time, I will acknowledge members who make an outstanding contribution to the Club; Israel or Penn. The first of these are for the academic scholarship and research position at Tel Aviv University that The Penn Club of Israel established to support an Ethiopian nursing student - this act is truly in the spirit of Penn's rendering access to education and will have manifold benefits to society expressed in those she will ultimately care for.

I will also frequently bestow the: With small strokes fall great oaks award which cite small acts once accumulated that will bring on great deeds. The first of which goes to Daniel Chor who built this site and who I have particular fondness for as a fellow trandesman in the printing sect.

Fellow Pennsylvanians - in contributing to this site please always: "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing".

Hi,
Did not take, in the past, such active part in the Penn Club. But will be glad to meet some people in Jerusalem. Although babies then, my twin daughters are 13.5 yrs old.
