Those present: Anne Stein, Alan Levin, Lori Sagarin, Vanessa Ehrlich, Anne Lidsky, Richard Prass, Jeff Kondritzer, Shari Granat, Judy Jury, Bill Rubin as well as Hillary Abelson and Tracy More from JUF.

We began our meeting with Hillary and Tracy speaking to us about the Walk with Israel which will be June 5, 2010. Richard shared with us that having the Walk after school is out was the model used in New York and was successful. We were all willing to give it a try. They were very interested in working with us to create a more educational experience for the participants than was had in the past. We agreed that our October meeting would be devoted to brainstorming educational pieces that could work.

We shared our calendars. Some begin school Sept. 12, some on the 19th and some on the 26th. Most will end on May 15th with a few ending on May 22nd.

We brainstormed some ideas for meeting topics for next year. The exec committee will meet over the summer and come up with topics for our meetings.

Shari shared with us how much money we have in the bank. Richard will talk to a financial person to see how we should invest some of it.

Chavayah was changed to February 13th and will still be at BJBE.

After the meeting most people stayed for lunch poolside. It was a lovely as the weather was perfect and the company was good. Benji was the only one to partake of the swimming activity but we all enjoyed watching him. ​
