Kehillat Torah Religious School Space Needs Meeting (Sun. Mar. 7)

Our school has experienced exciting growth this year, but with the growing enrollment has come growing challenges with the availability of physical space in our building. Each Sunday, we are bursting at the seams! It's a nice problem to have, but a problem that needs to be solved. We will therefore be having a Space Needs meeting on Sunday, March 7th at 9:30 AM in the TBS Sanctuary. TBS would like to hear your input and ideas about how to overcome our space challenges for next year, so please attend this important meeting.

Temple Beth Shalom Scrip Program

Scrip is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase scrip, you're purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials—and with every purchase, you earn revenue for the Temple. Purchasing scrip is an easy fundraiser in which to participate. You contribute to the Temple by making regular household purchases you would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. Check with TBS Scrip Coordinator David Neubauer (253-7654) for the latest participating retailer list, or visit www.glscrip.com. Then put your shopping dollars to work for the Temple!

Kroger Kosher Market Accepting Meat Orders For Passover 2010/5770

The Kroger Kosher Market is now accepting orders for meat for Passover. An order form is available at http://tbsohio.org/eWindow/KKMPassoverOrderForm2010.pdf - if you're interested, download the form, fill it out, and send it in to the Kroger Kosher Market (address provided on the form) by March 15. If you have any questions, contact Kim or Paul at the Kroger Kosher Market at (614) 237-0076.

Oneg Volunteers Needed

Please help sustain the longstanding TBS tradition of congregant supplied Oneg Shabbat (the snack after Friday night services). This is a wonderful way to connect to the TBS community and it isn't much work. You cut up a few veggies, maybe bake some cookies (or let Kroger's do the baking for you), possibly some cheese and crackers. You pick up a challa for the bimah. You come to services a little early and stay a little later to clean up. You visit with your fellow congregants, make a few new friends. What could be nicer? You want help, ask someone to share the work with you or I'll help you line up a partner. We have several dates available for the upcoming year. It's a nice way to acknowledge a family yahrzeit or a special event like a baby naming or an anniversary. Please help carry on this wonderful TBS tradition. Would like to participate but food preparation doesn't interest you? You can also make a cash contribution to the Oneg Fund and we'll have cookie trays and the challa delivered. Contact Miriam Siegfried (mcsfried@sbcglobal.net, 870-8707 evenings) to volunteer to provide a Friday night Oneg.
