MOCA INTERNATIONAL Gets Busy for 2006
The Shenandoah Shindig is
behind us, and wow, what a weekend! Thanks again to
everyone who made the magic happen. If you want to see some of
what we did, Andy has graciously created a
photo website where
attendees can post the pics they took at
http://mosaicphotos.jewishnetwork.com
Now we need your help to start planning for 2006! Usually about
this time, a local club comes forward and volunteers to host the
International Event. In 2005 it was Maryland; In 2004
Massachusetts and New York split the job; In 2003 Chicago hosted,
and in 2002 we went north of the border to Toronto. So, where will
we be next year? Please let us
know if your club wishes to host in 2006. Contact
LizMosaic@yahoo.com
with your suggestions, and they'll be brought before the Board.
Thanks in advance!
The 2006 MOCA Winter Event and
Ski Trip plans are underway. We hope to have a date and
place selected by Thanksgiving at the latest. We're currently
looking at late February - early
March. We have ruled out a few places already, and are
narrowing the search. Current
front runner is Steamboat Springs, but stay tuned, as
things can change.

The MOCA Team

thanks to all of our departing Board members: Sharon

MOCA's
2006 Winter Retreat and Ski Trip
Late February - Early March (Dates TBD)
Stay tuned as details are finalized for the MOCA Annual
Winter Event and Ski Trip. We're thinking about Steamboat
Springs, since there are soooo many amazing things to do
there in the evenings, including renting out a natural hot
spring for a *real* hot tub experience! We'll let you know
when approvals are gained and contracts are signed --
sometime in November at the latest! Contact LizMosaic@yahoo.com
with any questions before then.
