Men’s Group Report By Blaine Schwartz TBA Past President

As December rapidly approaches, it’s time to begin planning your holiday activities. These holiday activities should, of course, include your attending such Men’s Group sponsored family events as Tailgate at Temple, formerly Latkefest (nothing like the annual clogging of the arteries by eating those delectable latkes…we Jews have been doing it for generations) and, of course, Temple Beth Am’s Annual December 25th Chinese Dinner.

The Men’s Group is also looking forward to sponsoring other events as the snow flies such as card games, interfaith dinners, father-son activities and TBA’s Annual Bubbe’s Kitchen Deli Day (which, this year, is scheduled for March).

If you have not already done so, please consider joining the Men’s Group. We’d love to welcome you to one of our monthly lox and bagel breakfasts held at the Temple. Now is a great time to join so you can meet new friends and enjoy visiting with old acquaintances.

Please contact our Temple Administrator, Rick Ellis, at 633-8877, or Men’s Group, President Todd Sugarman, at 228-3201 for further information.

The Men’s Group also supports the Temple through donations towards our new outdoor sign, new carpeting and our wonderful Outdoor Picnic Grove and Worship Center that Men’s Group president, Todd Sugarman was instrumental in designing, constructing and helping to fund.

Each month, different members of the Men’s Group will have the honor of writing the Temple Topics article. I’m pleased to have written the first in a series of articles, each of which will focus on different Men’s Group activities.
