Weekly Message from the Board President

Let’s eat!  Our next Shalom Dinner is this Wednesday, October 22^nd, at 6:30 PM.  We’ll meet at the Guadalajara Restaurant on East Lincolnway.  If you are new to us, then welcome!  We all go out to dinner at various local restaurants about once a month. Everyone pays their own way and we just enjoy each other’s company.  It’s a great way to get to know members of our congregation and extended family.  So come join us!

The weather’s turning cooler, and that leads to thoughts of… See’s Candy!  The annual See’s Candy sale is on.  We just added an order form to our website.  It’s on the left side of the page (right above the links for the Mt. Sinai Cookbooks – which are still available)… or you can just click here:  https://www.mtsinaicheyenne.org/sees-candy-order-form.

This is the pre-order sale.  Prices are lower until October 29.  Sisterhood will then place the order for the candy.  It arrives around Thanksgiving, and you’ll be able to pick up your candy (and pay for it) on Sundays from November 30 through December 21.  The exact times and dates are on the website.

Some items have an asterisk (*) next to them.  That means the prices are the same as last year’s.  There’s a wide selection and you’re sure to find something you’ll like.

The Mt. Sinai Board of Directors reviewed the Synagogue budget last week.  The Board went line by line, looking at each item.  The budget will be up for final approval at the Board’s November meeting.  It will be presented to the full congregation at our Mt. Sinai Annual Meeting on December 7. 

You’ll be getting a formal notice and invitation in the mail in a couple of weeks.  The notice will also include a proxy ballot.  We’ll be electing three members of the Board of the Directors at the annual meeting.  We mail out a proxy ballot so anyone who can’t attend the meeting in person can still vote.  If you would like to run for the Board, please contact the Synagogue office.

The only requirement to serve on the Board of Directors is that you have been a member of Mt. Sinai for at least a year and have paid your dues.  There are three openings on the Board this year, and the incumbents, Georgia Young, Phyllis Bloomberg, and Noam Mantaka, are all running again.

We are already looking ahead to December.  We’ll have the annual meeting, Hanukah runs from December 14 to December 22^nd, and our traditional Shalom Dinner of Chinese food on Christmas Eve.  There’s a lot to look forward to!

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:

Af a ganef in a tsilinder, brent nit dos hitl.
For a thief in a top hat, the hat doesn’t burn.           

 Shalom,

Dave Lerner
President
Mt. Sinai Board of Directors
