Helping Houston, Thursday's meeting and Membership

If you would like to help synagogues in Houston, they have requested gift cards for Target, Walmart, Home Depot and/or Kroger(Ralphs).  Bring them to Thursday's Sisterhood meeting - Mel Birken volunteered to box them up and send them to Houston.   (If you buy at TAS, you can get scrip credit as well!)  The Temples will then to be able to purchase what they need for cleaning, refurbishing, etc. and will give out cards out to community members as well as Congregants.
Speaking of the Sisterhood meeting (Thursday at 7pm in the social hall,) I hope you will join us. Dr. David Kleinbrodt will be talking about techniques to keep our feet happy and healthy.  Also we will be voting on the budget (it balances!  whoo hoo!) and announcing other significant Board decisions.
Membership packets were assembled over the weekend and will be mailed early in the week.  If you haven't paid, you can bring your check to the meeting (did I mention it was this coming Thursday?) and save yourself a stamp.  Remember that men are welcome at our meetings and can become our Friends.  If you already paid, we still sent you an invoice (all membership packets need to be the same weight for bulk mailing) but we noted that we have already received your check.
