Annual Fund End of Year
Appeal 
One
goal of the 2008 Annual Fund is to get more families contributing,
regardless of amount. The Co- Chairs of the fund are happy to
report that very good progress has been made toward this goal,
as we have exceeded the number of families who gave last year.
However, we still have a ways to go to get where we need to be.
Please help us to whatever extent you can - particularly if you
have not given to the fund previously - to secure the long term
financial health of the Shir Tikva community and to support the
programs we all enjoy and take pride in. Give online at www.shirtikva.org/donate and
click on "Make a Donation" under the Annual
Fund heading. The fiscal year closes June 30. Thank you for your
support!

Volunteer Opportunities
- Join the STEAM Team
Calling
all STEAM Team volunteers! (And anyone else interested in making
a difference in the lives of elders in our communities!) Can
you spend an hour a week to food shop for a senior who can't
get out? Could you occasionally drive an elderly neighbor to
a local doctor's appointment? Or, are you willing to help someone
with a task as simple as changing a light bulb, or fixing a
leaky faucet? Believe it or not, these small mitzvahs can make
a huge difference in the life of an elder.
If
you are interested in receiving email updates that will list
volunteer opportunities for elders in need in the towns of Wayland,
Weston, Sudbury, Natick and Framingham, (as well as further information
about how to get started), please email Robin Tapper rtapper@comcast.net or Amy Podolsky amypodol@aol.com, and we will add you to the
list. **Please note: there is no obligation if you sign up, and
you will not be contacted directly to volunteer for any specific
need; these are simply emails listing volunteer opportunities
and information about how to get involved.
"What
we owe the old is reverence, but all they ask for is consideration,
attention, not to be discarded and forgotten..." (Heschel)
