Building Maintenance Fund

In the letter mailed out February 10, 2016 it was mentioned that the 
Board had approved to request from each member family a $100 
contribution to the Building Maintenance Fund in February, 2016 to cover 
the increasing expenses on the Rabbi’s House, the rental house and the 
synagogue. In order for our Synagogue to continue to maintain the same 
level of programming, we must have solid buildings!

If you haven't already done so, please send in your contribution to the 
Building Maintenance Fund as soon as possible.
