Reminders from the Conference Call
For anyone who missed the conference call here is a reminder about what your child needs to bring.
2-3 liters water bottle. The best thing to get is called a camelback. It is a pouch of water with a straw and it sits in a backpack that can also be used on hikes. This is very important!
A good pair of sneakers or hiking boots.
A good pair of sandals. They will not be able to wear flip flops during city tours.
A hat
A sleeping bag
Due to the extremely hot weather and strong sun tank tops will not be allowed to be worn during the day.
If anyone has further questions please contact the office.

Camp Health Advisory
Hello Parents,
The Habonim Dror Camping Association Executive Director, along with several other Camp Executive Directors and Israel program directors have sent out the following message.
Many camps and programs have been affected by swine flu. It is apparently spreading throughout the United States and several non-Habonim camps have staff and campers affected.
We have not received any warnings from our program provider in Israel or from the Israeli Ministry of Health that is dangerous to travel to Israel. I have also brought this issue up to Gil, Rosh MBI and we want to assure you that the health and safety of our participants is our top priority.
This being said if your child is feeling sick or exhibiting flu-like symptoms please take them to a doctor prior to the trip.

MBI Kupa
Hello MBI families,
I am writing to remind you that the recommended amount for kupa is $150 and that we prefer this as a separate check aside from the final payment.
If it is easier, especially for Canadians to have this charged to a credit card we can do that but we do prefer checks in US funds.
Please be in touch with me or Yelena, financial director at money@habonimdror.org if you have any questions.
