President Ross' Monthly Message
From The President
(July/August, 2010):
Your Board of Directors has had a very busy and engaging summer. From the new board members
taking office on July
1st, there has been a flurry of activity.
In July, the board met for our annual retreat to participate in efforts to communicate better among
not only ourselves,
but also the congregation and staff as a whole; review the needs of the congregation; and develop
strategies for the future.
As we go forward, you will see more events organized to focus on one of our key objectives,
“Energize the Core.” I hope
you will be motivated to get involved with the myriad of opportunities that not only will benefit the
congregation, but
offer you personal rewards as well.
The board passed several motions including limiting the opportunity to become a B’nei Mitzvah on
our campus to
our members only, modifying our dues structure and K-2 tuition to encourage new members to
JOIN our congregation,
and clarifying how Building Fund donations will be spent.
We are also actively engaged in creating a sacred space on our campus. The current plan includes
doubling the space of one of our
classroom buildings to house weekly services, B’nei Mitzvah services, weddings, and other events.
Once completed, we will be able to have
virtually all of our religious and secular events on campus, with the exception of High Holy Day
services, and will use our campus in this
capacity until we achieve our eventual goal of a building a sanctuary.
L’ Shalom
Mark Ross, President
