Welcome to the 2018 Blues Power Awards Website
We look forward to seeing you at one or both of our amazing Blue Yarmulke events this year. First, the Blues Power Breakfast on April 15, 2018 at Temple Israel in Norfolk, and then the Blues Power Awards Gala on May 6th, 2018 at Congregation B'nai Israel in Rockville Maryland.
Why come to these events?
Our honorees have devoted incredible time and energy serving their clubs and communities. We reserve these occasions to celebrate their achievements and to thank them. What better way to say thank you than to be there to witness their honor, and to celebrate with them! Many of our honorees got motivated to serve their communities by attending an earlier Blue Yarmulke. This honor helped serve as a motivation to contribute. We call this the cycle of service and celebration - may it continue forever!
Yes, it is a fund raiser as well as a fun-raiser.
This is the Seaboard Region FJMC’s major source of funding for our programs. Below please find some of the main uses of our funds:
- Subsidies for our International Convention and Regional Retreat. It is here where our club and brotherhood leaders receive advanced training and motivation to serve you!
- Subsidies at the FJMC store. We provide money to help our clubs with books and other materials such as yads and tefillin to help their activities.
- Regional trainings.
- Other philanthropy. We give to other Jewish causes around the world.
Please join us at one or both celebrations. Please, show your appreciation to your Blue Yarmulke Man of the Year in our Tribute Journal, which will appear on our regional website shortly after you submit it. You can also support the region itself by being a King or Duke of the Blues Contributor.
See you on the dance floor! Power to the Blues!
Bob Watts, Chair
