  celebrating Sukkot and Simchat Torah.

Operations

• Brandy Mahrt is now our Office Manager.
• We will be getting additional estimates for redoing the parking lot and clearing brush.
• We are working on submitting a grant application for security enhancement.
• Finances are progressing, although there are still matters that need to be straightened
  out. We continue to have a positive net income, partly as a result of rent from last
  fiscal year which has now been paid. High Holy Day income was significantly lower
  this year.

• Facebook ads for the High Holy Days and the Religious School had thousands of view
  and over a hundred clicks each.
