Leadership Development  

Message from Dr. Michael Newman and Shep Faber:

As co-chairs of the Leadership Development committee, we will be submitting a slate of candidates for election as President, First Vice-President, and Members at Large of the Board of Directors at our Annual Meeting this year on Friday, May 8.

Members at Large of the Board are expected to attend our monthly Board meetings, and, among other duties, help develop the Temple's policies and programs, approve our operating budget and set annual dues and fees. A Member at Large may also be assigned as a chair or co-chair of a committee or individual project.

If you'd like to serve, but believe that you may not have enough experience or need to know more about the position, please get in touch with Shep Faber (305-856-1895) and we'll get you up to speed.

Written applications and nominations for the position of Board Member at Large will be accepted until April 24, 2015 . Submit them to yogishep@mac.com.

Please use good judgment in what you choose to donate; bring things that are clean and in good shape.

Also, it helps us tremendously if you pre-sort and put clothing on hangers. Put everything but t-shirts, jeans and shorts on hangers. (We have hangers if you need them.)

We cannot accept old electronics, plastics of any type, magazines, text books, broken or incomplete toys, etc. We cannot accept large furniture, as we have no way to transport or store the items. If you have large furniture items, we can show a picture on the website.

Last year we had terrific donations, often from your friends and families. Please spread the word on Facebook or other social media that we accept donations and that tax forms are available.  We have flyers for distribution.

The yard sale is one of our major fundraisers, and our biggest project involving the entire Beth Or community. It's lots of fun, but requires a lot of man- and woman-power. We need all the volunteers we can get. We look forward to seeing all of our fabulous 'regulars', but also hope many new members will get involved. It's a great way to bond with the community.

We need sorters during all of the drop-off times. The more helpers we have, the faster the job gets done. And remember, helpers get first pick of the merchandise!

Even if you can only help for 30 minutes, please come.

Please contact Kathy Fisler , Marcy Prince, or Rowena Wallach if you can help out, or if you have questions.

Let's make this year's sale another wonderful, successful experience.
