OKATY is looking forward to a very busy and exciting year! Hopefully you have received your membership forms and are ready for some fun! Our year kicks off as we welcome home our campers and Israel trip participants on Aug 6th at Sha’arei Shabbat. Aug 7-8th, will be our annual Fall Trip. Sept 12th we will have our OKATY Car Wash; funds raised will assist in providing scholarships to local, regional & national events. Oct 9th we will once again be volunteering at the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank; all youth (over 8 years old) as well as parents are encouraged to join us. Nov 5-7th we will host NFTY-TOR Fall Conclave and in December, after Chanukah celebrations, we will rest, recover and refuel for our spring events.
Don’t forget to send in your tickets for “The Best Spot on the Lot”. We will have two winners for Rosh Hashanah & two winners for Yom Kippur. All the money raised this year will go towards Fall Conclave Programming. Winning tickets will be pulled at GFC during Summer Kallah on Sept 3rd by our OKATY President. Winners will be notified by phone no later than Sept 7th
