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 />
