I would like to thank everyone who came to the TBH Online General Membership meeting last Sunday. It is not as easy to be enthused sitting in front of one’s computer or phone, as it is to be when one is among friends – but you pulled it off.
A few by-law changes were voted in, mostly creating consistency with changes voted in at the 2016 meeting, reports were heard from our hard-working volunteers (or as Jane Durango calls them the Magic Elves Club).
A new slate of officers was voted in:
PresidentMichael Cohen
First Vice PresidentJane Durango
Second Vice PresidentAudrey Berger
TreasurerLaura Taub
Secretary Anna Stein
Past PresidentNeil Zarchin
Board:Mel Feder
Larry Fox
Jane Kemp
Marilyn Hertzberg
Linda Rose
Wendy Roth
Judy Windrix
Jean Henderson
It was very difficult to say goodbye to our departing Board members Sheri Tatenheim and Jeff Romm, but they have done more than their share for the Temple. I want to personally thank Michael Cohen for stepping up to the presidency for a second time. Although our bylaws state that the new president takes over at the end of the General Membership Meeting, President Cohen has asked me to cover his duties while he prepares his transition team.
By far the most difficult and moving part of the meeting was saying ‘Shalom’ as in farewell to Office Manager Arlene Lisby. After 40 years of being the heart, soul, brain and every other needed role she is taking a well-earned retirement. There aren’t words for all she has done, and for the love we all have for Arlene. Several members expressed gratitude, appreciation, told stories and cried as we all wished Arlene nothing but the best. Arlene has done everything for Temple Beth Hillel.

We are what we do.
