[HANASHIR:9157] Looking for a Job around Chicago

[Jaugshir <Jaugshir...>]

I am looking for a way to support myself doing the things that nourish my 
Jewish soul.  (I hope it is ok to post this here, since most of what 
nourishes my Jewish soul involves music in one way or another.)

All ideas and potential opportunities are welcome.  You can e-mail me 
privately at jaugshir (at) aol(dot)com (my HaNashir e-mail address) or 
jaugolden (at) aol(dot)com (my regular e-mail address).  Also, feel free to 
forward 
the attached to whomever you think might be interested.  Please let me know 
if I should follow up.

Thanks all.

can't accept Word attachments.  The attachment is the same information with a
