MOTHERLODE JEWISH COMMUNITY
August 29, 2007
MessageFrom Our President
Dear fellow Mother Lode Jewish Community members and future members:
Thanks to your generous contributions of dues, this past year was a successful one for MLJC; we accomplished
several of our goals and overcame many challenges. With your continued support, we look forward to the year
ahead with anticipation of some wonderful services and community events.
Over the past year, it was our pleasure to have provided several excellent guest rabbis to lead our, and we will
continue to bring in select visiting rabbis this year as we seek to find one that might become permanent. Your
attendance at our monthly services and your feedback on those services, including your impression of the
rabbi leading the service, will be very important to us all as we strive to make good decisions for the community
going forward. We currently have two Rabbis that we will be asking back this year, Rabbi Ruth Adar (our rabbi
for the upcoming Rosh Hashanah services) and Rabbi Chaya Gusfield (dates to be announced), but we are still
open to seeing new guest rabbis and would appreciate any referrals you might send us.
Of course all events can be found on our website at www.motherlodejc.com . We want to be sure every Jew in
our area is aware of our existence and knows they can join us for any future events. If you have any friends
that you would like to invite to join us, please do!
We are asking you to again look within your hearts (and wallets) to increase your level of contribution if you are
presently a dues paying member, and if you are new or didn’t contribute last year, please begin this year. Your
support is essential if we are to build the kind of community that truly means something and enriches our lives
here in the tri-county area. Your contribution is important; it does make a difference!
Your attendance is equally important! Our services and events enable us all to get to know each other better
and network with other Jewish individuals and families in our area. You will be receiving regular newsletters to
inform you of upcoming dates of services and events; you can also go to our website at www.motherlodejc.org
for a our calendar as well as communications from your Board of Directors, your President, and a column from
the guest rabbis. It is a wonderful community; with very dedicated leadership and we would love to see some
new faces joining the regulars. To try to expand our awareness in the region, we will be launching a modest
marketing program this year coordinating with our local newspapers articles on Jewish holidays with ads
announcing our specific events here in the Mother Lode.
For those with children, we intend to provide Sunday School with a nominal attendance charge of $100 for the
first child, $75 for the second child, additional children are free.
We hope that you will continue to support us, increase the level of your dues contribution, and join us in our
services and events. Please consider what you can afford and forward your contribution to the address below:
