June 2018 Newsletter Article
June is the time of year when we start to think about wrapping up the school year, slow down for the summer and actually gear-up for the High Holidays – ALL at the same time!
As we wrap up the year, I always like to offer some words of thanks to all those members who have helped support our community in the last year. It would be impossible to thank all those who have been involved from participating on committees by setting up for events, bringing food for oneg, cooking for the shelter, participating in our social justice/action programs, re-supplying our paper supplies, gardening around our building, organizing events like break-fast and the seder, helping to raise money for our community, and so, so, so much more. If one were to actually count the volunteer efforts, we would be amazed. One particular mission that took a huge amount of effort had to do with updating our kitchen. To all the people who participated in the effort: Jerry Lotto, Susan McHugh, Cayla Maguire, Tamar Wexler, Joanna Myers, Mitch Hyatt, Cris Shuldiner, the graduating class of 2018, Congregation Shalom Sisterhood, past B’nai Mitzvah classes and more…..Thank you for your contributions and generosity of spirit and time. More
