MEET CHRISS GOLDEN 

TKA VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR 

Temple Kol Ami is fortunate 

this year to be able to honor 

a woman who has quietly 

given of herself time and 

again: Chriss Golden. 

Chriss has been a member 

of TKA for 26 years. Both 

her sons, Justin and 

Mason, attended and 

graduated from our 

Religious School. All three 

became B’nai Mitzvah at 

Kol Ami—Chriss in 1991 

and her sons in 1993. 

Chriss has served as a Trustee on the General Board 

during two separate terms and has been a member of 

our Usher Corps at various times. She is currently a 

member of the Shiva Corps and TKA Sisterhood. She 

wishes she could be more active in Sisterhood, but 

rarely gets a chance to participate due to her job as a 

Counselor at Walled Lake Northern High School. 

Chriss has also sung in our choir for many years— 

more than she can recall. Most recently, she has 

assumed the role of Choir Director, spending 

countless hours preparing the choir to sing for both 

High Holidays and Shabbat services. 

Thank you, Chriss, for your spirit, your energy, your 

dedication, and your skills. 

Please join us in honoring Chriss, all of our volunteers and 

the new Executive Officers and Board of Trustees on 

Friday, June 1st. RSVP for dinner is requested.

SNAP/Food Stamp Challenge 

A FOOD STAMP BUDGET FOR 6 DAYS? 

JOIN US…AND TAKE THE CHALLENGE 

JULY 7-13, 2012 

DID YOU KNOW… 

• Millions of low-income Americans live on Food Stamps/ 

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)? 

• In 2011, 1 of every 5 people in Michigan received food 

stamps? 

• The average food stamp benefit in Michigan is $4.50 

per day. 

• This makes it difficult to avoid hunger, afford nutritious 

foods, and stay healthy 

Members of Congress, URJ leaders, and 

celebrities have embraced the challenge. 

Please join Temple Kol Ami members* 

and Take the Challenge: 

Eat on $4.50/day per person for 6 days 

Living Below the Line Challenge Guidelines 

1. Join us during the week of July 7 th to July 13 th from 

Havdalah until Erev Shabbat. If that week is not 

convenient for you, please pick another 6 days. (We 

purposely excluded Shabbat) 

2. Spend a total of $27 per person for all food and 

beverages during the Challenge period. Be sure to 

include any fast food or dining out in your budget. 

3. During the Challenge, only eat food that you purchase 

for the project. Refrain from eating food that you 

already own (this does not include spices and 

condiments). 

4. Avoid accepting free food from friends, family, or at 

work, including at receptions, briefings, or other events 

where food is served. 

5. Keep track of receipts on food spending and take note 

of your experiences that week. 

6. Invite others to join you, including co-workers, 

reporters, chefs, or other elected officials. 

The Rest of the deal 

Calculate the money that you did not spend on food and 

beverage for the week and contribute it to a fund at Temple 

that will be donated to a hunger remediation organization 

as well as a portion to Nothing But Nets, which has been 

our ongoing Tikkun Olam project for the last several years. 

You will be able to join the Challenge on line as well as 

blog about the experience through a portal on the TKA 

Website. The blog will also be our group support and 

information exchange for the project. More information can 

be found at 

http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5118/p/salsa/web/ 

common/public/content?content_item_KEY=10037 

While living on a food stamp budget for just a week cannot 

come close to the struggles encountered by low-income 

families week after week and month after month, those who 

take the Challenge gain a new perspective of what it 

means to be hungry. We hope you choose to learn with us 

and share your experience with others.

Sisterhood & Such 

Sisterhood 

E very month for the past four years I have had a short article in The Voice as President of TKA 

Sisterhood. It has been an honor and my privilege to be the President. During my tenure, we have 

encountered both smooth and rough patches, but we have all come out on top each time. I couldn’t have 

accomplished what I have without the help of my Executive and General Board, Temple’s clergy and the 

office staff over the past four years. I want to wish a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you! 

Abby Pook 

Sisterhood President
