This Friday night we will be holding a service at Lake Chauncey, weather permitting, and right now it looks like the weather will permit. This lay lead service will be at 7:30 PM. Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on. I strongly recommend good bug spray. The heat wave is supposed to break tonight and Friday will be comfortably in the 70's. I hope you will join us for this special service under the stars. Bring your friends!
This Thursday there will be a live webcast of a special address by Dr. Robert Satloff on the global implications of the iranian agreement. There is more information and a link to register below in this newsletter. Thank you Howard Borer and Federation for passing this along to us.
Our website has been up and running for several weeks now and all seems to be going well. The software package is really impressive, and is constantly improving. I sat in on a shulcloud conference today to learn more about the software's features and future plans. There are some really exciting features that will be added soon.
I am so excited that some of you have been able to fill out your membership and pledge forms on line through the website. It was a great test of the system. Thank you to those who have been "guinea pigs" while we work the kinks out of the system.
We have also been receiving a steady stream of pledges through the mail. I am so impressed with the generosity and support of our Beth Tikvah mishpacha (family)! I know we were hoping to receive all the pledges by July 10, but that was really more of a suggestion. We will still happily accept your pledges. If you have any questions about the process, please contact me.
Here are the forms.
