FOR PARTNERS
Volunteers Needed
 
In preparing for the High Holidays CBH is looking for a few people:
  • Willing and able to do a deep clean and organize the kitchen in late August/early September.
  • Clean out and organize the area behind the ark in the sanctuary. 
Also, Hollie is looking for one or two volunteers to work with her on soliciting advertisers for the new CBH Partner Directory.  This is an opportunity to help CBH raise some revenue and have some fun working with Hollie.  This project will start the first week of August. 
 
Please e-mail Hollie at director@bethaverim.org if you have some time and can lend a hand!
