JCP Dues Payments needed for this year 2007-2008

Mon, 12 May 2008 18:13:53 GMT

JCP Dues run from September to September. If you have not paid dues for September 2007 through August 2008, then please do so immediately. Our dues are not expensive. The suggested dues are: for a family $30-$60; for an individual $20-$30; and no charge for students. If you are not able to pay the suggested dues, than any amount will be appreciated. Make your check payable to "Jewish Community of the Palouse" and please mail it to: Jewish Community of the Palouse c/o The K-House, 720 NE Thatuna St., Pullman, WA 99163. There is no charge to simply receive our email notices.

We need to collect our dues to cover our overhead and other expenses. We pay for our office and other uses at the K-House in Pullman. That alone is a considerable expense. In addition, we rent space for High Holy Day Services, the Chanukah Party, and other events. We purchase books and supplies for our Friday Night Services and other religious services and celebrations. We underwrite other educational activities, social occasions, film events, speakers, and other events. We have kept our expenses down. We have also received private grants to underwrite our activities. But we cannot continue without the monetary support of members as well as their willingness to volunteer to plan and conduct our activities.

JCP General Meeting changed to Friday, May 16, before Services

Mon, 12 May 2008 17:51:56 GMT

The Annual JCP General Meeting has been changed. Instead of Sunday, May 18^th, it will be held on Friday, May 16^th before Services. The potluck will begin at 6:30 PM. The meeting will begin a few minutes later and run while we eat. The meeting might take only about 15 minutes. Sunset that night is around 7:45 PM. There should be no problem for persons who want to attend the General Meeting, but still leave to get home before sunset. The General Meeting agenda generally involves a treasurer’s report, a president’s report, and elections. No one has informed me that they would like to stand for election. But please volunteer to be elected if you are so inclined.

JCP Religious Education Program for 2008-2009

Mon, 05 May 2008 21:29:56 GMT

Susan Rydeen has volunteered to be in charge of the children’s Religious Education program for the Academic Year 2008-2009. It meets on Sunday mornings. If you are interested in the program, please contact her at susanferman@yahoo.com. Here is her message to all of us: “I am starting to work on coordinating Religious Education for next year. We would like to get an idea of how many kids we have interested in RE for next semester (fall), and what their ages are. I know we have a lot of members with younger children, so if there is interest, we will set something up that is age-appropriate for the little one, too. We also would like to hear from anyone interested in having more formal Hebrew School lessons for the older kids, say ages six and up. If there is enough interest, we will try to set something up -- perhaps after school one day a week. Please let me know if you are interested ASAP, so that we have some lead time to plan for each age group.”
