President’s Message by Jackie Schoch

I want to take this time to congratulate George Gazarek as the new President, Bev Hoy for her 2nd term as Secretary and Tamara Trank as Financial Secretary. The synagogue will support you and we hope you have a successful term in office.

Since George Gazarek was our Treasurer, that office is now open and needs to be filled. The Board is looking for someone and if you can do the job please let Jackie know at grammysglassgarden@gmail.com.

I will be leaving on May 17th for a week trip in Germany with my sister. We are going to the towns that my great-grandfather and my grandmother on my father’s side of the family came from before they came to the United States. My grandmother (Dad’s mom) came to the US when she was 16 as a servant. We were told she went back and forth to Germany five times. Amazing what people did back then.

Now that we are starting the summer months it is a perfect time to start something new and that is the “Hot Shabbat” on Friday, June 6th. There is more information in this newsletter and by emails. Come and join the fun!
Sorry to say Randy and I won’t be able to join the fun since Randy will be doing a wedding that weekend in Fredericksburg, VA.

Check out the newsletter for more information on things that are happening at Congregation Sha’are Shalom and come join us.

Shalom,
Jackie
