A Word from the V.P. of Membership<br />
Stephen Marksamer<br />
The Membership Committee of Temple Adas Shalom is back!!!! Engagement is<br />
the theme for growing our membership and building our community inside the<br />
congregation and outside where we live.<br />
The Membership Committee is a team, core sustained by our Fundraising,<br />
Caring, Social Action/Tikkun Olam, and Social Committee leaders, and<br />
expanded by additional members of the congregation who want to participate<br />
in developing our sense of congregational community.<br />
Working together, we seek to grow our membership, increase social awareness,<br />
continue our caring outreach towards recognizing all the good things that<br />
happen, understanding when difficulties occur. Help/support is sometimes<br />
needed, and being there during grief when support sometimes is just being<br />
there. Our Social Committee is planning lots of fun events where we can get<br />
outside, be active, have fun, and especially meet each other, again or for the first<br />
time.<br />
There is a Value Proposition of membership to Temple Adas Shalom. The value<br />
is being a community that does things together. Be it Adult Education<br />
opportunities; Religious School for the children and young adults; Our ELC for<br />
smaller ones; Being involved in local community action and charities; Socially<br />
engaged with fun events; and our sacred commitment to Judaism, the religious<br />
bond and history that interweaves us.<br />
Look for the opportunities in the monthly <strong>Newsletter</strong> to participate and our<br />
weekly bulletins and special emails. The more you do, the more we all grow<br />
together.<br />
If you want to be more active in growing our congregation or participating in<br />
any of these committees I mentioned, please send an email<br />
to membership@templeadsshalom.org. Thank you all for your great comments and<br />
support. Keep them coming!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Stephen Marksamer<br />
