Hope everyone is doing great as we head into the last day of Religious School on Sunday, May 19  and the last days of regular school for most. Summer is close! 
This past weekend, we had a couple of events that showed Congregation Ner Tamid at its best. On Sunday morning, we had
our religious school Teacher Appreciation Breakfast (pictured above) Thanks to Tais Keyser for coordinating the event recognizing our wonderful religious school teachers and principal.
And thanks again to the entire Religious School staff:
Principal - Elaine Gutenstein
Vice Principal - Rebecca Sussman 
Hebrew Teachers - Reuven Milikovsky and Robert Goldstein
Lead Teachers - Stephanie Goldstein, Eric Baskin, Craig Lerman, and Brian Katz
Assistant Teachers - Henry Baskin, Sydney Berenson, and Jimmy Cyganek
Madrachim - Miles Baskin, Noah Moore, Ethan Goldstein
Librarians - Sue Goldstein, Larry Goldstein

You are very much appreciated for all you do for our children.  
Later that day, we had our Cinco de Mayo Rummage Sale sponsored by the Fundraising Committee.   Thanks to all those who contributed items throughout the week.  There was a wide selection of items
from kids clothing and toys, to books, to lots of household items.   Additionally, thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the rummage sale that day.   From carrying all of the items out to the parking lot, to assisting customers, to serving Cinco de Mayo
themed food, to loading up and taking the remaining items
to Goodwill.   Thanks to all who came out to support these events.
As a reminder, we have our Youth Group sponsored Shabbat Under the Stars this Friday night. Please come out and support our youth at this fun event. Finally, I look forward to seeing our members at our annual meeting on Sunday, May 19 f following religious school.  Please join us for a potluck dairy lunch beginning at 11:30 am followed by the annual meeting at noon.
