TST Annual Meeting and Volunteer Appreciation
Monday, June 4, 6:15 p.m.

Our Congregation's Annual Meeting will take place on Monday, June 4, 2018 at 6:15 PM. Our format will differ from past years in that we will be serving dinner and honoring all of our volunteers during the first part of the meeting. All who attend will also receive a gift of thanks! We hope you will attend as we review our current year, present our budget for 2018-19, and vote in a new slate of Trustees.


The past year has seen many important milestones and accomplishments. For example, the enormous success of our Early Learning Center, under Sandy Gold's leadership, has been one of the highlights of our year. We have hired a new Associate Rabbi, Jordi Schuster Battis, and a new Director of Education, Alison Weikel.   Our 40th anniversary celebration was an incredible success.
 
We are also coming off of our third consecutive year of financial stability. This has been accomplished by executing outstanding expense management, coupled with a revenue stream that reflected an annual fund that was targeted to meet our needs. We continue to successfully change the culture of TST from a membership dues and fees model to an aspirational culture that moves aggressively to meet our needs through targeted development. The budget for 2018-19 will be presented at the meeting for congregational approval.
 
We have accomplished so much this year and are grateful for all that our professional staff have brought to our community. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on June 4.
