We are both very excited to be the co-presidents of Congregation Shaar Hashalom. We are planning many activities for all our members .
Currently, the new board members are meeting with their predecessors to become oriented in their positions . Others are getting ready in positions they have done before. Our board meetings will be held on the third Thursday of every month and are open to all members.
Perhaps, you think that synagogues run themselves. However, that is not the case, and many people volunteer many hours to help see that it runs smoothly. Did you know that there are many studies that show a link between volunteering and increased feelings of self-worth? Some of our committees include fundraising, education, social action, membership, ritual and facilities. Come and join one of these committees or the many other activities at our synagogue and share your expertise with your congregation.
Let us tell you a little about us. Sandy has been a member of the synagogue for over twenty five years, is married, and has two children, ages 24 and 21. Debbie also is a longtime member of the synagogue, having joined in 1991. She also has two children, ages 29 and 24. You might meet her son David at the synagogue.
We are looking forward to meeting and talking to each one of you in the coming months and are eager to learn your ideas about what our synagogue can do for you and your family. Feel free to email or call us to share your ideas and please tell us which committee of our synagogue you would like to participate.
