Volunteers Needed for annual Fortnighters Dinner.
Wednesday, April 10 from 11-1 we need a few kitchen helpers at our own TBA kitchen to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
Next day, Thursday, from 4-7PM, we need a few more helpers at
Haws Methodist Church in Norristown to serve and clean up the meal.
Contact Cathy Koffs, cathyk435@comcast.net, if you want to help out
at this event. The Fortnighters are local folks living with mental illness,
and they meet weekly for socialization and a dinner served
by local churches and civic groups.
Our temple has been serving the Fortnighters for over twenty years now.
We are still using the delicious meatloaf recipe given to us
by Sue Brede and Bill Bly.
Please join us!

TO CONTACT THE CARING COMMUNITY TEAM,  please call Ann Greenstein at 424-524-3938 or e-mail her at greensteina123@yahoo.com.
 

The caring community team is available to help members who need assistance with meals and rides and issues associated with illness and bereavement.  Or, if you just need to hear a friendly voice during this time of isolation, we have a group of volunteers ready to make contact with you.
 
Caring Matters, and at Brith Achim, we are here for one another.


 LET'S CELEBRATE EACH OTHER
It is sometimes difficult to remember during hard times that there are so many wonderful things happening too, such as births, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, and special achievements,  There are so many reasons to rejoice even when life is difficult or disappointing.  The Caring Community Team is getting ready to focus more on these joyful events, but we need your help. 
We are looking forward to starting a column in the monthly bulletin called mentsch-ening (We can give Rabbi Lazar credit for this idea) and we need your help.  We do not always know when a happy event has happened to you or your family so we ask that you tell us when there is a birth in your family, a wedding, a move to a new home, an honor or award, or anything else special to you.  You can contact Ann at 484-524-3939 (leave message) or at greensteina123@yahoo.com so we can share your joy in the column “Mentsch-ening”. 
Once we expand the Caring Community responsibilities, we will need volunteers to send out birthday cards monthly, and to place calls of congratulations or acknowledgment in other ways.  So, keep in mind what you would like to do to let our members no that we care as much when things are going well as when we need to provide support.
