7) We give much thanks to Lea for all her efforts in planning and coordinating
the Hot Springs trip. The trip involved great soaks,
beautiful wilderness and intimate davening. All had a great time. It is particularly
notable that Nishmat is continuing this landmark event even
though Nathan Martin could not be with us. We think it's important for this
event to continue annually. Kudos to Lea for making this year's possible.
8) We also thank Lea for efforts in publicizing Nishmat. We respect her judgement
with regard to whether or not we continue to list Nishmat on
BayJews.org and planetJewish.org.
