WII PARTYYYY

Hillel of WWU is having the greatest Nintendo WII party ever...(can't actually confirm this)...Join Hillel as we battle it out like total nerds. We will be having pizza, and tons of snacks. You can also sign up for our WII bowling tournament.

JEWS NIGHT OUT!!!!

For any Jew at Western that is interested, Hillel will be giving an all expenses paid trip downtown to go bowling and chill at the Cobra Lounge. Everyone must be 18+ (I'm assuming everyone at Western meets that). Meet us at the Shalom Center for some food at 7:30, then we will leave via bus to the Bowling alley, we will play a few frames and then roll on over to the Cobra Lounge, Bellingham's only hookah bar...Did I mention its free....(Bring your WWU Bus Pass to cut out bus travel fees)...All you need to bring is yourself, and a pair of socks...unless you want to have to buy those awfully sexy socks at the bowling alley. If you can't meet at the Shalom Center @ 8:00 then just call Max Stahlberg (360-303-2914) and he will let you know how to get to wherever the group may be...

If you require transportation please let us know ASAP so that we can have enough room to get everyone down there. To RSVP for transportation or for any other questions please email us at Hillelwwu@gmail.com (note: If no one RSVPs then there will be no body to give you a ride at the Shalom center. Services without pickup times have no arranged transportation...but if you wish, they are very easy to get to via bus.

Finally, If you are driving yourself to these services the services will be at The Leopold which is located at 1224 Cornwall Ave.
