On May 16th, we held a very productive meeting which laid the groundwork for some solid strategic planning. The meeting opened with a review of the current year’s activities. Here are some of the high-lights:

BREAKFAST/ BRUNCH:

November: Veterans Day Program, Religious School kids included
February: Sweetheart Special Brunch
March: Jim Usher’s 100th birthday celebration
April: Yom Hashoah Program, Religious School kids included

SERVICES AND SOCIAL EVENTS:

July: Men’s Club Annual Picnic
August: Temple Open House support
September: High Holy Days Ushering coordination
December: Chanukah Festival support
March: Marlins /Cards game at Roger Dean Stadium; Blood Bank; Purim Carnival support; Religious School Car Wash support
April: Israel Independence Day Celebration support

We realize that we need new ideas. We are proud to announce a committee that will help point the direction that we need to go in. Our newly designed steering committee, led by David Elias, will help lay out the focus for programming in 2010/11. The TBA Men's Club is looking forward to the upcoming year to bring healthy change to our group! In layman's terms - change is good!

The next event, important to the Temple as well as the Men’s Club, is The Men’s Club Annual Picnic. It will be on Sunday, July 25, at the Anita Lankler Pavilion. Branden Gould graciously took the lead to organize and plan the entire event. Several men jumped forward to help him with the task. More information can be found elsewhere in this Scribe, and also will be available in flyers in the lobby.

Looking ahead to the new Fiscal year 2010/2011, starting July1, The Men’s Club organizational structure will reflect the opportunity for mentoring and growth.

Co-Presidents: Ted Essinger, Howard Freedland
Vice-presidents: Bob Feller, David Elias
