If you would like to help and would enjoy a fun evening out, come join our Bingo workers.  It’s an evening of work and fun, but most of all you spend quality time with some great people.  Come meet these important people who make our synagogue possible.  We would love to see you and would really appreciate your help. 

 

Planning something to be held here at Beth Shalom?  Talk to our Custodian, John Walton.  He needs to know how to set it up.  Please consult John when planning (or un-planning) an event and let him know about it.

 

In the event of a funeral, please call the Bereavement Committee, let them know you’d like to help, and ask what you can contribute.

 

Let’s talk some more about Bingo.  We’re still in need of Bingo workers.  How can we put it more plainly?  Beth Shalom needs the Bingo program, and each and every one of us should help in some way.  We’ve got sit-down jobs, stand-up jobs, and run-around jobs; take your pick.  Call John Singer at 562-696-5760 or Bonnie Neville at 562-691-1541.
