Community Meeting

Our community meetings are events where you can discuss any issues, concerns, or suggestions directly with the board and fellow community members. Alternatively, if you don't have anything you'd like to discuss with us, you're more than welcome to just hang out and listen to us plan the next happy hour, shabbat dinner, etc. Even if you can't attend the meeting, please fill out our brief survey.

It will be held on Sunday, 1/8 at 6:00pm at the home of Rebecca & Oren Friedman. Feel free to bring a bissel of nosh to share while we schmooze. Email Rebecca for location.Have questions to post? See ourFacebook event!
