  | | Dear Friends,
This month we at Yad Sarah, along with the rest of the country, complied with Home Security regulations and participated in a massive emergency drill to improve our preparedness in the event of an emergency. A sense of security, however, cannot be fostered by drills alone. It comes through human concern, compassion and connection – and this is what Yad Sarah is about every day. Our Emergency Alarm System lets homebound people call for help 24/7. Yad Sarah's volunteers visit isolated individuals on a regular basis, developing warm relationships with them which enhance their sense of security and quality of life. June is also a month of flowers and festivals in Jerusalem and throughout the entire country. We invite you to visit and when you do, please call us for a special tour of Yad Sarah.
Sincerely,  |  | FUNdraiser for Women Only
