GENETIC EDUCATION AND SCREENING PROGRAM

1 in 5 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of a "Jewish" genetic disorder - and may not even know it. With a simple blood test, find out if
you're at risk for passing on a debilitating, if not fatal, genetic disorder. If you're thinking about starting a family, now's the
time to learn your risk - and your options.

Monday, March 16, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Temple Sholom, Chicago
Monday, April 27, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Chicago Sinai Congregation, Chicago

$90 per person or $36 for students includes dinner, educational presentation, and screening for 9 disorders. These tests usually
cost over $3,000! Pre-registration required. Contact Rachel at 312-357-4988. The Chicago Center for Jewish Genetic Disorders is a
cooperative effort of the JUF/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago and Children's Memorial Hospital, and is supported in part
by the Michael Reese Health Trust.
