Long Overdue Update

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since we last updated but SO much has happened! I'll give you all a rundown of what happened over the past month.

-We had a ton of great acts at our Annual Benefit Concert! In total, we raised $1236.95 for Manna House! How amazing is that!? Thank you to everyone who came out and supported such a great cause.

- Sadly, our beloved advisor Adam Kaufman moved to California in the past month:( However, we have a fantastic new advisor named Michael Zimmerman! We welcomed him with open arms and we want you guys to do the same! 

And that about does it for what happened this past month. Now onto other things...

ToSTY PROM!
ToSTYs prom is just around the corner! It is a masquerade theme and there will be tons of dancing. Don't have a mask? That's okay, we have masks at the door for five dollars. The apparel is semi-formal. We encourage red and black for the evening! Hope to see everyone there!
RSVP right here: https://shalomtosty.wufoo.com/forms/tostys-big-fat-jewish-masquerade-rsvp/

Dr. Seuss/Dan Nichols Creative Service/Shul-in!!
So the theme of our creative service is Dr.Seuss! Pretty cool, right? It gets better! Dan Nichols is song-leading our service! That's right, THE Dan Nichols. Don't worry, it's about to get even better! After a night of fun, games, lounging, and an impact session, participants have the option to go back to board members houses to rest up and get ready for the nights festivities. The festivities that night include a Dan Nichols concert! How cool: a shul in, a creative service, and a Dan Nichols concert? Doesn't get any better than that!  Save the date: March 21st- 22nd

Well thats all for now! I'll be back soon with another update!

With love,
ToSTY's CVP

Freshman Rep Seth Karten and RCVP Hannah Friedman, manning the wrapping table.

This past evening, the members of the ToSTY board participated in a fundraiser for Barnes and Noble, in which we wrapped books for people who bought anything. So, if you bought a book from Barnes and Noble for the holidays as a gift, you could've had one of the illustrious ToSTY board members wrap it for you.
For those of you that did come to support ToSTY - thank you so much for the support! It means a lot!

Other Things:
If you are interested in doing Co-Shul In at Temple Rodeph Torah, please sign up NOW! Go to RTSY.trt.org to sign up! We need to know for food's sake!


Hope to see you soon, and stay tuned for more news. Oh, and stay jewcy!
