Sarah and Emily Bradley’s Mitzvah Project!

Our mitzvah project is for the Humane Society. Sarah and I are making toys for dogs that do not have them, out of old t-shirts. The toys are very durable, and are fun for the dogs to play with. We chose this for our project because although the Humane Society does a great job taking care of the dogs, and rescuing them the dogs still need toys to play with. This subject was very close to home for us, because we have four dogs ourselves and whenever our dogs don’t have toys they always get cranky.

Do you have some T-shirts that you can donate to Sarah and Bradley? Their goal is to make 50 toys to donate! Please see the attached picture to see their dog with the toy!!

T shirts can be dropped off at Beth El Tuesday-Friday 9:00-4:30.

BETH EL NEWS

A message from your Security Committee:

The Security Committee would like to remind all members that our security guards work very hard to protect us while on duty. Their need to focus on potential threats is similar to a lifeguard. Just as we would not distract a lifeguard during their duties, please respect what our guards do for us and the guidelines under which they work. Please refrain from activities such as offering food to eat or chairs to sit on or any other well intentioned endeavor that would distract or diminish their job performance under our security protocols.

Thank you

Camp Season

is here. Now to keep track of the grand kids, two at one camp, two at another, and one at a third. How to keep track of the sign-ins and passwords? Ingenious! Our grand daughter (the one going into the Peace Corps in two weeks) showed me how to bookmark all the camp sign-ins and passwords! I know the bar has been set low, but I'm still impressed...what can I say? Now when she starts talking about SIM cards and Face Time and Skype, I know I have to get the legal pad out and take notes. And, talk about currency conversion...oye! This can become somewhat onerous. Not so for all the Beth El Committees awaiting your participation. Boiling it down to the basics...we would love to hear from you...we need you!
