From the Treasurer
Everyone who made a donation to TEMV in 2017 should have received a letter which included the total amount that is tax deductible. The same letter included the amount you pledged for the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year and how much of that pledge is still outstanding. Please send your final pledge payment and donations for the current Fiscal Year by April 30, 2018, when the year ends. If you did not receive the letter or have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. You may also pay via PayPal on our website. (Note that PayPal takes a 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction fee.)
Thank you for your continued support of TEMV,
Phebe
Thank Yous
Thank you to all of the TEMV members who attended the Annual Meeting yesterday. For those who missed the meeting, minutes will be available in the near future.
–Robin Frisch
Thank all who participated in Mitzvah Day. We removed much from the principal’s office (and elsewhere downstairs). It gave us a great start in clearing out the building as we move forward together. If you are in the building for services or Religious School this week, please pick a few items from the sale table downstairs. Leave money in the basket.
–Frank Baskin
