Step Up! Volunteers Needed -- Our voluntary commitment model asks each person to donate both financially and of themselves. We are asking each member to commit to participating on a committee, task force, or project. We cannot afford to bring on professional staff to do all the work. A few of our greatest current needs include:
*Marketing and Communications - help is needed for our electronic sign, website, Facebook, etc.
*Social Action - needs a new chairperson
*B'nai Mitzvah Coordinator - to work with our families
*Task Force to honor Rabbi Eitan
If you want more information and have interest in helping in any of these areas, contact Stuart Aizenberg - President@shir-hadash.org / 847-840-7895
