Shul Fixit and Cleanup day!
The house committee invites all congregants to come and help on Sunday, December 9, at 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. We'll work, we’ll eat, and we’ll light eight candles on the Hanukiah!
There are a range of projects to undertake that day, including: hanging art; shelving books in the library; a few carpentry projects; some heavy lifting and reorganizing our storage spaces; gardening and other tasks.
You can chose the task that you prefer to do and you'll work in a small team with a house committee member.
The plan is to create teams that, under the direction of a House Committee member and work on the various projects. Please sign up for the team you’d like to contribute to. There will be plenty of opportunity to flow between teams depending on the work needed.
Team 1: Landscaping Captain: Allen LevyWe’ll work on the Zweifach Meditation Garden, the Eva Gunther Plaza deck and wall planters, and a few other small projects. In the long term, we’d like to form a gardening committee to manage these spaces on a regular basis, so please let Allen know if you are interested in that.
Team 2: Interior Decor Co-captains: Rosemary Rothstein/Mark GuntherWe have a collection of art and memorabilia that needs to be hung on various walls. We have chosen the locations. We'll be hanging a temporary exhibition in the Chapel Gallery, and permanent installation, on drywall or concrete, of other art items.
Team 3: Hanging the Tribes Captain: David MadfesThose of you who are long term congregants will remember the metal sculptures depicting the 12 tribes that used to hang above the bimah in the old sanctuary. These are going to be mounted on the concrete wall above the reception desk in the lobby. As each tribe is in at least three pieces, need to be mounted directly to the wall, and need to align precisely with each other when hung, persons with carpentry experience would be welcome for this task.
Team 4: Moving the Tree of Life Captain: David MadfesThe Tree of Life memorial wall is being moved from the Library to Koret Hall. We need some strong folks to help with the moving and installation.
Team 5: Storage Space Management/Cleaning Captain: Mark GuntherWorking with Beth, this team will be inventorying items we have in our various storage spaces, moving stuff around to better locations, and discarding things that have passed their sell-by date. We also may power-wash the EG Plaza deck and walls, exterior stairwells, and other places as needed.
Team 6: Renewing the Pews Captain: Harry MeyerThis team will wash, vacuum, assess, refinish and move as necessary the pews in the Gronowski Chapel and Makom Shalom. There may be additional light carpentry tasks for this team as well.
