Services Auction

Why not browse the underpriced services your fellow celebrants can provide you?  Bid!  It’s Purim!

Please scroll down to the bottom of this page to download the services list and auction rules.

And Food?

Actually, the Invention Convention is the sideshow.  We’re really here to have our seudah– our Purim feast.  Soup and kreplach (that look just like Haman’s hat), stuffed chicken, chicken marsala, shnitzel, chicken nuggets, oven roasted potatoes, rice with vegetables, fresh vegetables, plus savory dessert.  Achashveirosh would be jealous.



Like Live Music?

A newly formed band of area shul members will surely take any grog out of your Purim…
