Temple Emanu-El Happenings

Hi everyone!
Wanted to give you all a quick update about our progress in transitioning to a new database! The transition is going very smoothly and we are excited for a new, beautiful website. We plan to wrap it up by the end of May, but until then, here are a few reminders:
- The Administrative Staff continues to be unavailable on Mondays. This means that the phone will be answered by volunteers and messages taken will be responded to on Tuesdays; emails will also be responded to on Tuesdays.
- Our entire system is being changed, so get ready for differences in the way you login, register for events, and do other activities. We are changing our web host, so we are doing extensive amounts of data transfer and new website setup. While we're busy on the back-end of things, you won't notice anything until we switch to the new site.
- Our website will be getting a fresh new look! This will also affect your experience of the website, and you will find that it's a lot more user-friendly than before.
- Your usernames and passwords will change once the move is complete. When we have finished with the website transfer, your old logins will no longer be valid. Don't worry - we'll be in touch to help you with new account setup and fill you in on the process.
We appreciate your patience as we make our finishing touches to the website. Stay tuned for more updates!
Stephanie Pollock and the Administrative Staff
