News of Our Congregants April 2019

"Thanks to all of you for wishing me a Mazel Tov on the birth of my great grandson, Spencer.  My family and I welcome him with open arms and much love and joy!!!"

Ruth Glass

***********************

We know there are always a number of congregants who are battling illness or have suffered other health issues.  We send you wishes of a return to good health.

We also want to know of your happy news, be it an anniversary, wedding, birth of a child, or anything else you may wish to share with the congregation. 

(Please let us know if you, or a fellow congregant is infirmed so that we may send prayers and wishes for a return to good health).

VBI Sisterhood/Volunteer Opportunities April 2019

VBI Sisterhood is small - but we do great things!  Read on to find out how you can help those in our Community through the Sisterhood

 
Show You Care - Send a Card

Are you aware that you can send tribute cards to congregants (and others) through VBI Sisterhood?   

Our very own Pauline Reich has been sending these cards for over 25 years - and she'd like to do so on your behalf as well.  The cost is only $3.00, though many congregants give more as a donation to the synagogue*.  

These cards are the perfect way to congratulate, send well wishes, or offer condolences.  A personalized message is always added, and if you aren't sure what to say, Pauline is happy to add a kind note on your behalf.   Contact Pauline at  paulinereich@earthlink.net to make your request!    

*Contributions made from the sale of these cards is used to pay for Kiddush Luncheons, post Shabbat services, challah, and other various needs for preparing meals and events. 

Our volunteers help plan and organize our events, build toward the future as members of our Board, and hold many other roles in between.  YOUR help is most definitely wanted, and needed.

Pauline Reich wanted to remind us that she collects items for servicemen and women, soldiers overseas, and needy veterans here at home. She's been doing this for many years, and needs our help!!

There is a box in the Temple entry on the left side on top of the glass display counter. Here is a list of the useful items Pauline will happily collect:

Birthday, Holiday cards, etc.- that you get in the mail
Pads you get in the mail

Candy - nothing twist ties - must be sealed on all 4 sides

Pens

Snacks, cookies, chips,- individual packages

Toothbrushes

Hot Chocolate Mixes

Foot Powder

Ramen Noodles
Travel Games

Magazines (within the year)

Decks of cards

Soft Cover Books

If you would be kind enough to bring your items to the Temple Lobby, Pauline picks up donations weekly.

Should there be anything the soldiers cannot use, it is given to the veterans at the VA.

Pauline also collects your empty ink cartridges from your printers. They are sold to a company and the money made is used to send all these items overseas.

THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE  'OUT THERE FOR US'.  IT IS THE LEAST WE CAN CAN DO FOR THEM!!!

Thank you In advance for your help.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pauline at: 818-764-8466, or via email at  paulinereich@earthlink.net.
