Familiar faces and many Arlington neighbors stopped into the Etz Hayim booth at the Arlington County Fair! A number of passersby specifically asked about Membership, Preschool and High Holiday tickets, so we will follow up with those folks in the next few days.

Our booth is an important part of participating in Arlington community events, raising our profile, and reaching out to prospective members. Prospective members are often hesitant to walk into our synagogue doors without previously having met a friendly face. When we meet at the Fair and tell them about our dynamic programming and welcoming atmosphere, they are much more likely to walk through our doors and check us out.

Many thanks to the following volunteers for making this all possible! Carol & Alan Schwaber; Deborah Meyers; Paula Levin-Alcorn; Dan & Elisa Rosman; Bard, Caleb & Mira Malovany; Sue Hamm; Steve, Courtney, Daniel & Edward Schwartz; Jill Clark-Foulkes.

Upcoming event: Bring yourself, your friends and neighbors to the Congregational Picnic and Membership Open House on Sunday, September 23 at 12:00pm!  Learn about how you can become more involved at Etz Hayim committees, chat with friends, bring prospective members by the Welcome Booth for some CEH goodies…And enjoy a free picnic!
