A short week, but rich in activity, reached its end. We gathered, created and provided so much for military units. We gathered merchandise, hosted guests and solved problems.

Thank you to all of the volunteers.

Sunday’s Empire

On Sunday, it will be Shlomo L. who will host at the Tourist Logistic Center. This time a family visit. A couple from Las Vegas and a couple from Mishmar HaEmek. Outstanding work and readiness to continue and volunteer in the future. Thank you Shlomo and thank you to the Zur family, Chava and Gil’ Ron and Cheryl.

Itzik S. and Eran S. won in the netting factory and in the carpentry workshop it was Beni G. Yaron and Shlomo Fester the one and only who came back to us with lots of energy after a short respite. At the desk, Shosh and Daniella and in the afternoon, Tali arrived with bright eyes after a two month vacation. Mazal Tov Tali on the birth of a fifth grandchild. All day long, more tasks continued to come in and everything proceeded like clockwork. Vedalia S. handled the phones and the collections. Throughout the day more officers arrived to pull tasks, everyone is amazed by the variety and overall scope of our activities.An empire

I didn’t touch it

On Monday I received the following summary from Chen

Good afternoon, Eyal, update: This morning, a wonderful team of volunteers showed up at the production hall of the "Logistics Center": Yossi.P., Aharon, Noa and they worked... After fifteen minutes of organizing (raw materials, tools, arranging the hall and clarifying priorities with Ronit), we began orderly, organized, high-quality and efficient work, in two teams, to produce 24 shade nets (mostly 5x3). That was in addition to "rescuing" the net rolls (for the start of production tomorrow) and returning the net rolls to their proper place. Team spirit, good atmosphere, quality music and results. Thanks to Yossi, Aharon and Noa for a wonderful morning's entertainment.

More on Monday

Osnat Saburai excitedly meets the guys she recruited from the scouts to help with loading for Doron Schwartzman. Avi Shoham, a new volunteer, learns how to do one collection and then ticks off collections all day, thorough and good work. Welcome Avi. The carpentry shop was fully occupied today and 7 corner units are waiting for branding (the seal that no piece of furniture can be produced without). Yael Horesh is back to talking (after losing her voice and searching for it for a few weeks) putting the pedal to the metal and filling in gaps in managing unusual equipment, we'll update next week. At the desk are Gershon, Miri and Adi. Yossi and Moshe are running a cat hunt.

Reshet Gimmel

Tuesday featured Udi and Zeev producing for shade nets of the "Independence Day Line" of the Israeli flag and the "We Are All Brothers" flag, one next to the other, we will add and do more of these next week as well. Our carpentry is at full capacity and I am asking Zeev to move to nets. Arnon will move to help with organization and order tasks and is doing a great job, he is being recruited to join Yael's exceptional equipment team. Yossi will operate and check forklift tasks and the week is over. That same day a huge donation of 1200 sun protection sprays arrives, donated by Nidaria Technology Ltd. Thank you Amit Lotan and thank you to our Sharon Asaraf.

Memorial, Independence and Fire

The week is half over, but not for everyone. On Wednesday and Thursday, it will be Gil, along with the Transportation Division team and volunteer drivers who will support efforts to supply firefighting equipment to the settlements surrounding Jerusalem. The Hamal Ezrachi and the firefighting project led by Nechomi and Michal.N respond quickly and our Transportation Division, at the initiative of Lt. Col. Gil, provides an immediate response in transportation. In the spirit of the 77th Independence Day, I salute you, the Transportation Division members. Well done – congratulations!

Afterword

Half a year has passed since moving to the Haifa logistics Center, it's unbelievable how time flies and the amount of work that feels even more. As we mentioned and projected in October last year, we will once again have an appreciation evening for the volunteers soon, I call on any of you who would like to suggest ideas or be part of the production team, to update us.

I would also like to use these lines to say thank you to Maayan, our graphic designer, without whom no project would be able to advance. Maayan, with your characteristic quietness and kindness, you are a true partner, thank you for your commitment.

Shavuah Tov
