• From The President Dave Roberts
  October 2007

In late August, I had a conversation with Lynn Solomon who, along with her mother, Ann Rosenfield, was co-chairing the Religious School tag sale. Lynn needed more volunteers to work at the sale. I made some phone calls and also decided to volunteer myself. I must confess that I was a bit apprehensive—I had never helped out at a tag sale before and didn’t know what to expect.

Everything worked out well--the Religious School had a wonderfully successful sale, and I enjoyed meeting and working with the other volunteers.

On Rosh Hashanah I asked each of you to consider volunteering to do something—big or small—or to commit to doing something new or different regarding your Jewish life. I hope that your volunteer experience will be similar to mine—that you enjoy what you do for the Temple and that you make new friends in the process. Doing good can feel good, too!

Remember, if no one has contacted you by November 15 about your offer to volunteer, email me at Droberts65@cox.net or call me at (860) 763 3902. I want to be sure that all who volunteer are contacted. By the time this Bulletin is printed, there should be new Suggestion Box in the Temple as well as one on this website. Please take a moment to give us your ideas for improving Sinai. Constructive criticism is welcome, too. Just remember, that with over 500 families, not everyone will agree with every suggestion, but every suggestion will be reviewed.

Shalom,
Dave
