A Special Meeting is called for Sunday, February 10, 2019 beginning at 4:30 pm. It will take place at Congregation Shalom, with the option for virtual participation. Your participation is needed to conduct temple business.
- Request membership approval for an expenditure of $13,735 for replacement of an HVAC system, as previously authorized by the Board of Trustees.
- Request membership approval for an expenditure of $5,446 for completion of work to install a grease trap, as previously authorized by the President to ensure our building would have operational rest rooms for the High Holidays.
- Request membership authorization of up to $8,200 for enclosing our trash, recycling, and clothing donation bins on a solid surface. This is the final requirement for compliance with the Chelmsford Board of Health requirements.
- Request membership authorization of up to $20,570 for replacement of both the Function Hall and the Sanctuary HVAC units if, and only if, the House Committee recommends immediate replacement of the units and the Board of Trustees agrees with the recommendation.
For those who would like to look at some details before the meeting, additional information on each of these topics is available
for download.
I am excited to let you know that
virtual participation will be accommodated at this meeting
. Please be patient since this is our first attempt at this and though we don’t anticipate any issues, we won’t know until we try. If you wish to participate from a remote location:
- Please get set up at least 15 minutes before the meeting to give time to work through any potential issues. You will need either a computer with a speaker and microphone, or a computer and a phone.
- After you have joined the meeting, if you want to “raise your hand” to speak, click on the speech bubble near the top to open a dialog box. Then simply type your request to speak; you will be unmuted by the moderator when it is your turn.
- When a vote is taken, you will use the same dialog box to vote.
If you have any questions ahead of time, feel free to
email me
. The day of the meeting, you can call Liz Denly at 978-328-2551 for assistance.
All members are encouraged to participate in this important business of Congregation Shalom. These are important projects! Please cast your vote.
