Dear friends,
“What can I do?” This was the question I heard frequently in March and April. JCOGS members were eager to support us, to help us carry on, to keep our community functioning.
With a small committee of our members, however, I turned that question on its head.
You see, our fundraiser committee already had begun their plans for a raucous summer event, complete with comedy, auction, and summer finery. Suddenly, it was clear there would not be large gatherings over the summer, and their best-laid plans went out the window. So I asked them, “What can you do?”
Oh, boy, did they ever answer.
This Sunday, six days from today, you get to be part of that answer. Laugh Your Tuchus Off is still going to be a raucous summer event, complete with comedy and an auction, but the finery is optional. The comedy is both homegrown and professional, with the headliner, Joel Chasnoff, Zooming in from Israel just to make us laugh. And the auction? They’ve devised a creative way to bring our community together while raising funds critical for our operations.
But you have to register right away or you’ll miss your chance to participate.
Once you register, you’ll be sent a link and instructions for bidding, and another link to watch the comedy.
If, throughout this shutdown, you asked yourself, “What can I do for JCOGS?” the answer is right here. Register today, bid in the next couple of days, and log on Sunday to laugh your tuchus off.
I’ll see you there,
Emily
