Chairmans Report from 2008 AGM

Dear Members and Friends,

It seems only a short time since our last Pesach Seder and our AGM but as I look back over the year, MLJC has achieved a huge amount.

In the year, we’ve started our regular monthly Shabat morning services, held our High Holy Day services, had a Channachach Party and Purim Party.

We’ve enjoyed the services of Student Rabbi Judith Rosen-Berry and visiting Rabbis including Rabbi Alex Wright and our own beloved Aaron.

During the past year, we’ve had our first Bar Mitzvah, (Reuben), our first wedding, (Maurice and Lily), and our first mixed faith Blessing, (Peter and Rebecca).

It is also the time to pay tribute to our hardworking Exec – Treasurer James Eisen, Secretary Nick Davis, Membership Secretary and Security, Ben Coleman, Website, Victor Isaacs, Vice Chair Aron Sterk, and my husband Len who regularly bakes our Friday night Challah and keeps the catering in order and is our Marriage Secretary.   I’d also like to thank all the many others who have helped in all sorts of ways.  E.g. Suzanne Schneider for developing our Facebook network and everyone who has stood at the door, helped clear up.  I apologise for not naming you all.

However, as you know, MLJC depends on your continuing support and I extend to you a warm invitation to get involved.

In our recent Newsletter, Ben asked for suggestions and we’ve even offered a prize.  But as yet we’ve had few takers.

At the AGM, all positions on the MLJC Executive are up for grabs.  You will find amongst your papers Council Nomination Forms.

We need more of you to join us.  We know that out there amongst our members there are lots of skills and talents.  We need help with planning and organizing.  We need help with PR.

We are not asking you for major commitment but to put yourself forward to help.  There are lots of opportunities that won’t require attendance at loads of tedious meetings.

So please.  Do come to the AGM.  Do give us your suggestions for what you want from MLJC.

All best wishes

PHYLLIS ALDEN
CHAIR MLJC
