Be a Light Parlor Meeting Update
|
|
In response to our
Be a Light Parlor Meeting initiative, we have a great group of facilitators who have been trained, and hosts who have volunteered their homes. We will begin setting up dates with our hosts.
The most important thing now is populating our parlor meetings with Solel members. The purpose of these small parlor meetings is to get to know fellow members of Temple Solel, either for the first time or more deeply. By listening to one another, we will identify new initiatives to be engaged within Temple Solel and the greater community.
Curious, interested in attending a parlor meeting? Please email Rae Rader,
[email protected]
. It's a great experience - give it a try!
