From the President

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. That is the date and time for this year’s Installation of Officers and Award Banquet. We will be installing new officers and a new Board of Trustees. Along with the installation, we will be honoring three dedicated members of our congregation who devote many hours of service to our synagogue. Being honored with the Morris Lubitsky Memorial Award is Marcy Steingroot. Marcy volunteers so much of her time to our shul and the community. She is well deserving of this award. Receiving the Harry Levine Special Service Award are Dan Becker and Marcia Grossman. Whenever and wherever help is needed on projects and programs, these two individuals can always be counted on to offer their time and help. Mazel Tov to Marcy, Dan and Marcia on receiving this special recognition.

The Recognition Committee of the Capital Campaign has been working many months to design a special piece recognizing those individuals who have pledged $10,000 and above to the campaign. The evening of the Installation Banquet will mark the dedication of this piece. It will be mounted on the wall as you come into the foyer and will remain a permanent piece of artwork in our synagogue.

Please remember, we still need the support of our members to help us reach our goal of $1.7 million. Two years ago before we even began this campaign, the idea of raising $1million was thought to be well beyond our reach. We are proud to say that to date we have raised well over $1.1 million, and we have not set a specific date for the culmination of our efforts. To those of you who have made a pledge, we say "Thank You". To those members who have not yet given, please remember, we still need your gift, no matter how large or small, to help insure the future of our synagogue and than "Our Flame Will Burn Ever Brighter" and that we will continue from "Generation to Generation".

I look forward to seeing everyone on December 7th for the Installation and Award Banquet.

Paul Franklin
