Beth Jacob Annual Meeting
Tuesday, June 11, 7 pm

The Beth Jacob Annual Meeting will be held at the synagogue at 7 PM on Tuesday, June 11. Officially the primary purpose of the meeting is to elect new members of the Board of Trustees (see reverse for the slate of nominees). It is also a time where we traditionally celebrate our accomplishments, honor and thank our volunteers and staff, and enjoy a little nosh and a chance to schmooze.

 

The agenda includes, among other things:
  • USY Report

  • Cemetery Association Report

  • President's Report

  • Presentation of Bud Sweet Award to Larry and Sue Savett

  • Recognition of outgoing members of the Board of Trustees

We hope to see you there!
