Spotlight on Volunteers


Our Temple would not be the vibrant community it is without the efforts of our volunteers ... too numerous to mention all at once, so for this week's edition, let's thank our current Front Desk/Office Volunteers. They do so much more than answer our telephones and front doors - they help the entire staff with projects large and small - we couldn't do it without them!


Please let them know you appreciate their efforts!


Mondays: Toby Schmich, Pat Shipley, Barbara Bloom

Tuesdays: Linda Rapp, Dr. Valerie Parker, Cathy Wilson

Wednesdays: Ruth Aron, Kathy Coven, Adison Kinglsey

Thursdays: Thomas Terry, Kathryn Bracamonte

Fridays: Lily Villa, Kathy Coven*, Wendi Socha


*In addition to her front desk duties, Kathy prepares your Shabbat handouts each week, and is nearly always responsible for preparing the lovely Oneg Shabbat you enjoy when Temple sponsors them! Thank you, Kathy!



Donor Acknowledgments

Untitled Design

Beginning in August, we will return to publicly thanking our donors in a regular section of our email newsletter. If for any reason you do not want your name noted in our list of monthly givers, please email Jocelyn to opt out.


Only donor names and the funds to which they have donated will be listed - no amounts.


We want to honor your incredible generosity to our community. No gift is too small, no support should go unacknowledged.


Thank you!
