December 2009
What a busy and fun month!

We had a wonderful, well attended Chanukah Party on the 13th!

All the prep work that goes into making a great dinner was done on Saturday night, thanks to Barry Fidelman, Bea Warshawsky, Esther Price, Irv Goldberg, Steve Tolen, Hy & Shelly
Warshawsky and Min Pearce and Keith and Anne Moffat.
Then on Sunday, after the board meeting, another crew brought it all together! Thanks go to Steve Tolen, Barry Fidelman, Debbie Ehrlich, Pat & Tony Mortorano, Keith & Anne Moffat,
Hy Warshawsky, Min Pearce and Beth Davis.What a meal! The Brisket melted in your mouth,
the potato latkes (and side dishes) were many and tasty!
Everyone had plenty to eat and there were no leftovers!

A get well card was sent to Mike Slotnick who was unable to attend.

Looking forward to the next event:
our Purim Program has been CANCELED, but
a Passover Seder WILL be held in March by Reservation.
Please let us know what night works best for your family to attend.

THANK-YOU
to the many people who have paid Shul Dues on time, you should all have received your Membership Cards by now! Please don't forget, our Shul depends on an active membership and dues! Now that the holidays are over, give it some thought.

RENOVATIONS

The microwave donated by Irving Goldberg in memory of his wife, Pearl Goldberg, has been placed and a dedication plaque is to be made. A new commercial (19.5) capacity refrigerator has been purchased and installed.Hy and Barry witnessed the inspection of the Fire Extinguishers, and it was it was thought to be more cost- effective to purchase new rather then to find a source for refilling. Steve Tolen is going to build more storage shelving.

BOARD MEETINGS

Board Meetings are usually held at 10AM on the THIRD SUNDAY of the month. For of a lack of a Quorum there was no meeting held in October. November’s meeting was held on the 15th; Robert and Dora Abel presented a book for inclusion during High Holidays & Lou will look into the possibility. Lou is also going to make a Funeral Protocol Handbook for Jewish Burials which will be given to the City as well as Funeral establishments in the area.
The next meeting will be held at 10:00 AM on Dec 13th prior to the Chanukah Party. Everyone Welcome!



MEMORIAL BOARD

Work is ongoing in to place a new memorial board for installation of additional plaques. Individual memorial plaques can be purchased at $350.00 each.
