5.20.08 AIPAC Dinner

Join Urban Jews PDX for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Dinner on May 21st. The former US Ambassador to Morocco is speaking. This is a great opportunity to learn more about AIPAC, the work that they do and the issues currently facing Israel. Also, it is fun to get a little dressed up and mingle with candidates and elected officials.

Last year's dinner attracted people from all across the political spectrum, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, doves and hawks, Labor and Likkud, etc. The Urban Jews contingent had a great time last year and we are thrilled that through the generosity of our donors we can offer this experience to more people this year!

Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Oregon Convention Center
777 NE MLK Jr Blvd, Portland, OR
5:00 PM Reception & 6:00 PM Dinner

Urban Jews PDX has grown so much that we have to use google groups to manage our list. Not much is going to change. It will still be confidential so no one can see your email or reply to all. We will continue to send out an email once or twice a week with events we think people will be interested in. If you haven't signed up yet, get on board by emailing urbanjewspdx[at]gmail.com!
