ENJOY!
Dear Eeemah,
Thanks for forwarding the information to me. I am writing from work where it is easier to write than home these days. The twins, Lilly and Jacob, just turned two years old. They are quite a pair. They attend a mommy and me class at the Peninsula JCC and love the class. They both call all bread these days Challah. Lilly tells us everything going on in the house in her own language. She calls Jacob "Nana". The entire family gets a good laugh because we called my Mom's Mom "Nana".
Our oldest daughter, Maddy, is in Kindergarten. She is thriving in school and has made lots of new friends this year. Her Sunday school teacher, Alison, grew up at Beth Israel. I do not know her maiden name, but I remember that she grew up in Bonita. (It’s Allison Raffer!!)
Next month, the entire Rozansky clan is going to Cabo San Lucas to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday. We know all seven cousins will have a great time.
In late August, we head over to London for Rachel's Bat Mitzvah, Debby's oldest daughter.
I hope all is well with you and your family too.
Love,
Danny
The Leaf Story..
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he
fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the
Bible.
He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf
that had been pressed in between the pages.
"Mama, look what I found," the boy called out."
"What have you got there, dear?'
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think its
Adam's underwear!"
This was sent to me from a friend who has lost someone dear to her. I promised her I would forward her email to as many people as possible. It would be great if you could do the same. Thanks.

Subject: Breast Cancer Stamp Booklet
We need those of you who are great at forwarding on information with your e-mail network. Please read and pass this on. It would be wonderful if 2005 were the year a cure for breast cancer was found!!!!
This is one email you should be glad to pass on. The notion that we could raise $35 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful! As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp
was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that affects so many of our Mothers, Sisters and Friends.
Instead of the normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs 40 cents The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care.
I urge you to do two things TODAY:
1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.
2. E-mail your friends to do the same.
Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer.
It takes so little to do so much in this drive.
We can all afford the $0.60. Please help & pass it on.
