1. Eizor Galil' Annual Hanukah Sleepover!
Held on the night between December 8 & 9 th, over 50 Eizor Galil members of all shchavot enjoyed sufganiyot, wacky games (remember that human Hanukiyah?), indoor pool & an all-night-movie-marathon! The event was a huge success, and we want to thank all the tzevet for their work and commitment.
Check out the photos in our blog http://eizorgalil.blogspot.com/ (look on the link to the right) or on facebook, at the Camp Galil group. (Please copy and paste into a new browser).

2. Registration for MBI & Workshop is now open!
We are happy to invite all 10th graders to sign up to MBI - our unique movement experience in Israel during summer 2008, and our 12 th graders for our fantastic Gap year program – Workshop.
Information and forms are available online at the HDNA website: http://habonimdror.org/
What's great about us is that we are a community. We know each other, and it's important to us that those who want to participate in MBI or Workshop will do so, regardless of monetary concerns. So – if there is any concern around this issue, please know that HDNA is open for very lenient payment arrangements. If you are interested in hearing more, please contact the Galil Shlicha, Adi Inbar, via shaliach@campgalil.org or via phone 215-380-2245.
B'Hatzlacha!

Put on your Chultzot and Galil gear & join us in support of two great projects, during this important day:
