Message from the Transition Committee
|
|
|
The Board of Directors has created the Transition Committee to interface between the Congregation and Kaplan Construction regarding punch list items and any other capital issues (as opposed to maintenance, operational and esthetic issues which will be managed by House and Beautification committees as is our custom (minhag)).
The Transition Committee is putting a process in place to centralize the collection of issues and concerns (punch list and otherwise) related to our new synagogue building.
Anyone who has an issue or concern or question is asked to send that issue to the office in the following format:
| Name: |
Description of Issue or Concern: |
Suggestion: |
Date: |
The office will keep a list of the issues with the name of the person who made the comment and their em or other contact info.
The Transition Committee will review the list on a weekly basis and communicate with Kaplan as appropriate. This will keep communication between the Congregation and Kaplan centralized and will keep these issues organized for reference purposes as well.
Any new issues will be assigned to a member of the Transition Committee for analysis and research on a fix.
Gratefully,
Paul Cooperstein, Chair
Ed Gurwitch
Bill Hanna
Larry Rose

A UNIQUE FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY
Participants in this study will receive $100 in appreciation for their time, and for helping to find participants, the Temple will receive $100 for each participant who completes the study.
As part of her work as a clinical researcher, our long time member, Annette Koplovsky is doing a study with people who have Hidradenitis Supprativa often know as HS. The condition is characterized by recurrent blocked sweat glands in the skin. Participants need to be between 18 and 65 years old. The study involves simple questions and answers and is totally confidential and will take about an hour. Please check with friends and relatives as well.
Please feel free to contact Annette with any questions or for additional info, home 617-696-9481, cell 616-417-1653. Several temple members have participated in past studies, and it's an easy way for you to make some money and support the synagogue at the same time! Thank you!
