Whatís In A Name???

We would like to give our newsletter a name. Preferably we want the name to reflect either New Mexico or some suitable historic or Jewish (pioneer days) reference. We have rejected the following:

Cactus & Torahs
From the NMJHS
News from on Chai
New Mexico Jewish News
Window on Jewish History
New Mexico Jewish Historical Review

We are going to offer a free challah to any member who suggests a name we decide to use. Our newsletter is now read on the World Wide Web as well as by the 360 member families. It would be great if we could come up with a name which reflects the breadth of our activities and the focus of our mission. Please submit your suggestion by September 1, 1999.

Please check the date that appears on the bottom of your address label. If your membership has expired, please renew it now. Fill out the renewal form below and return it to the Society.

Who else will support our
Society . . . if not you?
