Hi Leonard,

>From your mouth to the JCC's ears.  The organizations that profess to 
represent the Jewish communities and look out for our interests think we are 
only interested in exercise equipment and boys basketball.  There's 
supposedly money in this.
Jewish programming?  Supposedly no money in this.

Because of lack of interest on the part of the JCC's and synagogues and 
Jewish Day schools to sponsor Israeli and Jewish recreational dance at their 
facilities, there are few dancers around with which to form these troupes.  
And nobody will pay the organizer, leader, choreographer.

It would be a great idea if there were funding.  Nobody wants to do this for 
free anymore.

I'll be happy to dance with you sometime.

Best,

Willa
