The good news: The gossip column in Kol No'ar, OSRUI's newsletter, got word that I'm co-chairing the National Havurah Committee Summer Institute. It's free publicity for the Institute!
The bad news: They misspelled the name of the organization, and got the name of the event wrong -- they called it the National Chavurah Institute.
It's a common error, and I fear that if people read about the National Chavurah Institute and then google it, they'll end up at the wrong place. Googling National Chavurah Institute at least asks if people are looking for National Havurah Institute, but National Havurah Institute isn't actually the correct name either. And the organization is called National Havurah Committee, not National Chavurah Committee. Perhaps this post will help ensure that people looking for the National Havurah Institute or National Chavurah Institute or National Chavurah Committee will end up at the National Havurah Commitee, where they're trying to go in the first place.

I guess it sort of is a "gossip column," though I always assumed those items were contributed with permission. If it were a true "gossip column," I guess it would have hookup and/or drinking scandal information.
