From the brotherhood president
It is unbelievable how fast time passes. Here we are in March and spring is in the air.
Brotherhood has lots of activities planned in the next several months and I would like to update you as to what is in store and opportunities that abound.
On March 9 Brotherhood will hold its annual Parent/Child Shabbat. This is a good opportunity for families to participate in services together to enjoy Shabbat. That night we will be presenting our Philip Zuckerman Volunteer award to John Illian and Neil Hootkin for outstanding Volunteer service with Brotherhood.
Brotherhood is entering its 80 year and to celebrate will honor our Past Presidents with the unveiling of a new Past Presidents Plaque in their honor. Please join us for this wonderful Shabbat.
On March 10 we will have our Roller Derby night. This is a fast paced sport and was a great success last year.
April 22 will be our Chicken soup cook off and June 4th our annual Golf Outing. Please mark your calendars for these special events.
Brotherhood is always looking and working on new ideas for fund raising and programs. We need you to help bring these ideas to us. Please help support Brotherhood to continue to reach its goals. Join us at a meeting on the first Thursday of the month and find out what you’re missing in Brotherhood.
None of these things can be done without the loyal support of our board and members who take on many volunteer roles to work together for the benefit of our Congregation.
To each of them I say thank you.
Jerry Plotkin
Botherhood President
