NOMINATING COMMITEE
by Mark Slifkin

Attention:

There is a very important Temple Beth Am Board of Directors
election coming up that will provide our future direction.
So, are you ready to step up and lead?

If yes, then you might be just who we are looking for to be …

NOMINATED for the
TEMPLE BETH AM BOARD of DIRECTORS

Here is what you must be dying to know …
What are the qualifications for being a Board Member?
You need to be a member in good standing of Temple Beth Am.

What are the duties?
Attend monthly meetings, come to Services, work on a committee, usher during Services, read

announcements from the Bimah on Shabbat, give out B’nei Mitzvah gifts, vote on things like
programs, contracts, committees, budgets, support, set strategies, and keep a watchful eye
over the Temple.

What is the election process?
1. Let us know that you want to be considered to be on the Board of Directors.
2. Attend a ½ hour confidential, Nominating Committee interview.
3. If selected by the Nominating Committee and the Board, be balloted to the Congregation at
the Annual Meeting.
4. Get elected, put on your official Board name tag, and start all that leading.

If you want to be considered for nomination to the Board, or if you have any questions about the
Board qualifications, duties, or nominating process—please give me a call at 561.222.8350, or email
me, Mark Slifkin, at [email protected], or let the office know. Interviews will likely begin after the
first of the year and close in January. B’Shalom and thank you.

SOCIAL ACTION

WE NEED YOUR HELP
Our volunteers serve hot, healthy dinners to the needy at St. George's Episcopal Church, in Riviera Beach,
the 3rd Monday evening of every month. We need some new volunteers to offer an hour and a half of their
time, from 5:00pm - 6:30pm helping us serve the dinners to those less fortunate. The meals are prepared
in the kitchen at Temple Beth Am on that Monday afternoon. Please contact us for further information and
please check out their website at www.saintgeorgescenter.org and their Facebook page.

We would like to thank our November volunteers
for all their kindness and hard work... and commitment!

Bob Feller Stacy Reich
Lisa Blatt Janet Dwork
Noah Thrope Myra Black
Alex Weinstein Murry Abramowitz

Please bring any unused books you may have, along with you to the Soup Kitchen and place on the shelves. The
community is in need of reading materials.

Temple Beth Am will NOT be serving Christmas Eve Dinner this year. We are back on the schedule for 2017.

If you can't volunteer on Monday nights...but would like to help, please drop off boxes of penne pasta or elbow
macaroni (no substitutions) one week before the 3rd Monday of the month, to the Temple.
