Greetings from the CNT Membership Committee,

Our committee consists of the following members: Johanna Kohler, Stephanie Anchor, Kristine Goldstein, and Brad Seitel, but we are always looking for other members to help out. 2020 was a challenging year for the Membership committee. Many events being planned had to be postponed or canceled due to COVID-19. The committee quickly adjusted to provide virtual events and began making home deliveries to reach out and connect with members. In 2021, our main focus has been on keeping in touch with our members through several virtual events. We have planned happy hours, virtual onegs, outdoor movie nights, game nights, and other events that afforded congregation members a chance to connect with each other during these unprecedented times.

We continue to monitor the pandemic for signs of being able to reopen CNT. We are hopeful and optimistic that we will be able to begin holding in-person events later in 2021. In January of 2021, the CNT board met and established some key goals for the year. One of those goals was to grow membership through our religious school. As such, the Membership committee has held a joint meeting with the Education committee to make plans for the 2021-2022 religious school year. We will continue to collaborate with Education to plan marketing and increase our visibility to prospective members. We are planning to offer appointment-based open houses over the summer heading into the next school year.

Membership is also working with the Communications committee to find additional opportunities to market CNT to the public. We have explored the NextDoor network and other social media outlets. We will continue to partner on publicizing CNT events and our religious school into the school year.

Finally, look for more details around a 15 year celebration for CNT. It is hard to believe it has been 15 years. We are looking forward to celebrating this milestone event!

If you are interested in helping out on the Membership committee or have ideas for the Membership committee, please reach out to any of the committee members or email [email protected]. Monitor the CNT website, Chai Lights, and your email for details on upcoming events.
