TURNING THE CORNER

    As I am finishing my term as President of Congregation Or Chadash, I look back to see what we have accomplished. I am a student of science and have tried to approach each issue very methodically, in a rational manner.

    However, as a student of science we may have violated the law of increasing entropy; this law states that entropy, or disorder, must increase over time. To the contrary, our Congregation is more ordered, more committed to the ideals and vision as set forth by our mission statement. Our office is much more organized, and with the help of our Executive Director, Alan Pearlman, we are able to attend to the needs of our members better. Our Religious School continues to advance, as has our Adult Education programs.

    All committees have taken their responsibilities with full commitment. We have worked within a balanced budget, and have continued to pay off our mortgage. We have surveyed our members, the results of which will be presented at our annual meeting on May 9th, and will continue to address those needs of our members.

    I want to thank all of you for your continued support, hard work and dedication. It has paid off; in essence we have turned the corner and will continue to persevere and succeed. As far as violating the laws of science, don’t worry; for every area that is more ordered there is another area that is more disordered – just look at my kid’s room.

   Thank you,

Scott A. Krasner
President
