Emmis-the truthly newsletter

Emmis, the Federation’s monthly newsletter meaning truth in Yiddish, had some fascinating stories covering: Teen philanthropy, our Annual Campaign (ends today!), P.J. Library and Pritzker's farewell:

• Teen Philanthropy that would make a Zaideh proud: The Jewish Community Teen Foundations (JCTF), comprised of five regional groups, awarded grants totaling almost $204,000. Click here to see the projects the teens are supporting!
• Traeger Update: Our Annual Campaign has raised $26.4 million thus far, but still needs $27.5 million to continue the important work that we do.  Click here to get involved or to donate!

• The P.J. Library received a generous grant from the Jim Joseph Foundation to expand its outreach from the current 734 children to 5,000 new children.  The program, which is free for the first two years,  sends a book or CD each month to Jewish families with small children.
