Welcome to the 2019 Blues Power "MVP" Awards Website
We look forward to seeing you at one or both of our amazing Blue Yarmulke events this year. First, the Tidewater Breakfast on March 10, 2019 at Rodef Sholom Temple in Newport News, VA, and then the Gala Brunch on April 7th, 2019 at Congregation Chizuk Amuno in Baltimore, MD.
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. where our club and brotherhood leaders receive advanced training and motivation to serve you! This is a Convention Year! The 2019 FJMC Convention will be held in Toronto, Canada on July 3-7 and we are trying to provide the maximum subsidies possible to have a great representation.
- 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 and show your appreciation to your Blue Yarmulke Person 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 Team Manager or Coach Contributor.
See you there!
