JULY

FIRST HEBREW CONGREGATION


HAPPENINGS

JULY

My apologies for being so late with this printing. I have been in ill health for some time now but I am getting stronger and hope to be my new self soon. Things have been going on never the less and I will attempt to bring you all up to date. The next Board meeting will be on the 16th of August, 2009.
Everyone Welcome.



Annual Meeting:

The following members were present as of
12:30 p.m.;
Mike Slotnick, Barry Fidelman, Hy Warshawsky and Min Pearce.
Since a quorum was not reached
(as is mandated in the by-laws to start a meeting),
this Annual
Meeting was called off.


Board Meeting:
There were 47 ballots received of 57 sent out for the Election of nine Board Members for 2009-2010. The following members were voted in: Joyce Berman, Debbie Ehrlich, Anne Moffat, Barry Fidelman, Lou Price, Mike Slotnick, Min Pearce, Steve Tolen and Hy Warshawsky. A suggestion was made to purchase a small shed to house the mower, edger, clippers, snow shovels, etc. but discussion was tabled since expenses for the kitchen, store room & painting of pipes in the social hall came to $ 7,406.80. Kiddush and Break-the Fast for High holidays will continue under Barry Fidelman’s direction. Lynda Warshawsky presented a program list with various topics of interest that may appeal to the general public as well as our local Jewish Community which could also be a stimulus for increased Synagogue membership and was given approval to begin.
