New Women’s League Vaccine Committee. As eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine has expanded, it has become more and more difficult to find available vaccine appointments and confusing to navigate the multitude of Websites offering vaccine appointment sign-ups.
The new Women’s League Vaccine Committee has therefore compiled a Vaccine Resource Guide to help our members navigate the vaccine sign-up process. Please see the vaccine guide , which will continue to be updated as more information becomes available.
If you have utilized the guide and are still having trouble navigating this process, please fill out the attached Google Form and one of our volunteers will contact you to help guide you through this process.

Important Precaution Reminders:
– Keep social distancing – from friends, family, children, grandchildren. This applies even after we have tested negative and/or are out of quarantine. Please be sure not to congregate and be sure to stay further than 6 feet from others when you are outdoors.
– We all wish to help others and be supportive. This is best accomplished by telephone or computer communication. If we do not protect ourselves, we are automatically endangering others.
– We need to refrain from inviting family or guests for meals, for chats, despite that this goes against our instincts and tradition.
– ALL shopping in stores involves possible exposure. Best to shop online. If absolutely necessary to visit a store, time visits when shopping density is lowest. Small stores which have had less traffic are preferable to larger stores.

Pesach 5781 – Shmura Matzah. YINR is accepting orders for handmade shmura matzah (both whole wheat and regular are available). There are approximately 6 matzot to every pound and purchasers should make allowances for cracked matzot as we cannot guarantee that every matzah in the package will be whole.
The price per pound is $29. Please click here to fill out an order form and hit SUBMIT. The deadline for orders is Tuesday, February 23. We will send out a follow-up email with information on where and when you can pick up your matzah. Please email executivedirector@yinr.org with any questions.
______________________________________________
Stock Payments. Please consider gifting appreciated securities to YINR as payment for outstanding balances or as a new contribution. Donating shares of stock or mutual funds that have appreciated in value since their purchase affords you a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities at the time of donation and avoids the capital gains tax that would be incurred on a sale of these securities. Please contact the office when you are donating stock to identify yourself, the stock listing symbol, and the estimated value. Any questions, please click here to contact the office.
