A
NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I would
like to thank everyone for the gracious welcome that
I have received here at Bet Shira Congregation. The
energy and excitement that fills Bet Shira is so wonderful!
I have had the opportunity to meet a great number
of you either individually or in groups, in person
or by phone. I even got to dance on the Bimah to celebrate
at the kindergarten graduation!!! I am truly looking
forward to working with you over the coming years.
If you have a moment to stop by or call, I’d
love to say hello.

Everyone
is getting ready for our annual Welcome Back BBQ that will be
on Sunday, August 22nd, 4:00-6:00 pm. Come
to Bet Shira and spend a great afternoon seeing old friends
and making new acquaintances. The burgers will be cooked to
perfection and there will be plenty of sauerkraut to eat with
the hot dogs. For those who prefer less protein we will have
veggie burgers, plenty of salads, there will be refreshments
for all and chilled watermelon slices to help you cool down.
The ECC PTA will sponsor a bounce house for the kids. Come see
the original and beautiful decorations that have been donated
by Parties by Lynn.
This
is a FREE event thanks to the generosity of the Bet
Shira Sisterhood for graciously funding this year’s
BBQ. Visitors from around the area are welcome to attend. Please
bring your friends and guests and introduce them to our welcoming
Bet Shira community. All Bet Shira committees and departments
will have tables set up to display their programs and to invite
you to join in. So, bring your family, bring your friends, and
enjoy the afternoon.
