From the Long Range Planning Committee - November 1999

President Karen Kahn agreed with the committee that we needed more information from the congregants to really finish the project. While we heard about the "big picture", we want more specific ideas and direction. Therefore, we will continue this congregational year by holding 6 congregation-wide meetings that will ask you to suggest specific tasks and projects. We have learned, though, that while we have a tremendous array of things going on, lots of us don't know what they are. During these meetings, we will inform you about the programs that do exist or are being planned. In other words, on of the efforts we will make is to find out the most effective methods to communicate what is happening. All meetings will take place at the Temple. If you have any questions, please call Toby Grossman.
