(including
A bill in the NJ State Legislature,
S-1607, would create a tuition tax credit program in New Jersey and has already

Codey (Senate President) and Barbara Buono (Chair, Budget & Appropriations Committee) and
urge them to place S-1607 on the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee
immediately.... Tell them that you support S.1607/The NJ Urban Enterprise Zone
Jobs Scholarship Act and urge them to post bill for committee vote immediately.

Please note that the monthly-learning aspect of our "Lunch & Learn" events will continue to be free and open to all seniors; that sponsors for a given event are always welcome; and that anyone who needs to make special arrangements should please feel free to speak with either Rabbi Herman or Alice Hall. Full details are in the attached bulletin. Thank you.
