Familial Dysautonomia Fundraiser
My son Justin is sponsoring a fundraiser in honor of his friend Danny who has FD. There will be a DJ Party for teenagers and their families at the New York Comedy Club on February 20th at 7:00 P.M. The Club is located at 8221 Glades Road in Boca Raton. Donations are $15 per ticket. Additional contributions are welcome. Contact Justin at justjeter2@bellsouth.net.
FD is an abbreviation for Familial Dysautonomia, a rare, fatal, genetic, neurologic disease present at birth. Kids with FD live in very unstable bodies. All their internal functions are unpredictable. They are prone to wide swings in blood pressure and heart rate, rapid decline of oxygenation and life-threatening autonomic crisis. The children who are susceptible to this disease are the product of parents who are both from an Ashkenazi Jewish background.

Holocaust Event
On December 15th, I attended the Broward County Student Awareness Day event at the Broward County Convention Center. The event was hosted by the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center in Hollywood, Florida. Hundreds of high school students had an opportunity to sit down and converse with Holocaust survivors. It was an incredible experience for all. I will be arranging to have one of the survivors speak with us at the February meeting.
