Members Needed for TEMV Security Committee

Welcoming members and guests is an important aspect of the culture at TEMV. We want to continue to give everyone a warm welcome, and yet it is very important to do so in a manner that keeps everyone in the building and parking lot safe and secure. We also need to create a TEMV Security Manual that is a resource for all types of emergencies, including weather and medical emergencies, building malfunctions, and of course, security situations such as threatening phone calls or suspicious people, vehicles, objects, etc. Please consider being a member of this committee. No formal training or background is needed–just a dedication to keeping our congregation safe and sound. Please contact Robin Frisch if you are interested.
