If you did not attend you missed a great show. Feb. 17th is our next program. However, we have not picked a topic as yet. On March 17th we have booked Susan Jackson, who will be speaking to us on how Beth Tikvah is seeking qualified volunteers to fill positions on two key committees. AUDIT COMMITTEE: The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the accounting and financial processes of the Synagogue; including reviewing and discussing the annual financial statements with the auditors and the board, and overseeing the appointment and performance of the external auditors. We are seeking individuals with appropriate qualifications and professional designations (CA, CGA) who have experience in auditing. Knowledge of, or experience with charitable organizations is desirable but not necessary. INVESTMENT COMMITTEE: This is a new committee to help oversee the investment of Beth Tikvah’s various funds. The Committee will review the performance of outside investment managers acting on behalf of Friendship Group Seeking Volunteers best to communicate with our grandchildren in this age of technology. She is really a fantastic speaker and I hope that we will have a good turnout from members and non members alike. Please check the Beth Tikvah website for more information. With best wishes to all, Ettie Seltzer Co-chair Beth Tikvah Friendship Group Beth Tikvah and make recommendations on the selection of or changes in investment managers. Periodically, the Committee may also review the asset allocation of the Beth Tikvah funds in the context of the broader economic and financial environment and contribute to decisions affecting risk and return. It should be emphasized that it is not the intention for the Investment Committee to micromanage the Synagogue’s portfolio. We are seeking individuals with experience in portfolio management and asset allocation. Individuals with experience in assessing and/or directing external fund managers would be an advantage. Those interested in either committee should contact Josh Mendelsohn, Treasurer of Beth Tikvah, at 905-737-6977 or by email: joshmendelsohn@yahoo.com Deadline Dates for Hakol Issue Deadline April/May 2011 Mar 4 SHABBAT AFTERNOONS AT BETH TIKVAH The ritual committee has approved a motion to temporarily abridge services on Shabbat afternoons. Over several months, they will be evaluating the success of the revised schedule. The congregation will continue the practice of serving seudah shlishit (the third meal) between Minha and Maariv, but will no longer offer a lengthy study at that time. The proposal will significantly shorten the commitment required for coming to synagogue on Shabbat afternoon. This calendar in this issue of Hakol reflects the revised service times.
