At the annual membership

deemed sufficient to provide adequate supplemental financial support
for the three year period of the loan.

and Bob Rudman had successful negotiations with M & I Bank. The
terms of which were discussed with the board.

retained as a guest Rabbi for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
Bob Peterman and David Kazilsky
reported on the results of the survey conducted by the Visionary
Committee.
A Town Hall meeting will be
scheduled for October 18 to present these findings to the
congregation.
David Kazilsky spoke of an
email service called Constant Contact that will be implemented as a
weekly newsletter instead of daily emails to our congregation.
David has set up a board of
trustees email address where congregants can write in with questions
and comments and these will be forwarded to the board.
A synopsis of the minutes from
the board meetings will be published on the website.
The results of the survey will be
published but will be password protected so they can be viewed only
by our members.
