Sanctuary Lighting: We have budgeted $1000 to fix the Bima track lighting in the Sanctuary. In the course of investigating repair options, we received a quotation for a replacement of the Sanctuary Bima track lighting with energy saving LED lights. The quotation is $4090 in total. A donor has been identified who will cover the $3090 difference between the cost of the LED upgrade ($4090) and the $1000 budget line item.
Motion: Move that Beth David upgrade the sanctuary lighting to use LED technology per the bid from K&K Sound and Lighting in an amount not to exceed $4100.00 and to use the offered targeted donation of $3100 plus the budget line item of $1000 to pay for the cost of doing so.

- We have one open at large position on the Board which is the programming portfolio. Applications should be addressed to president@beth-david.org.
- The FY10/11 Annual Campaign has begun. If you have not yet signed up for a phone a thon shift, please contact Joanne Cornbleet
- The Annual Membership Meeting has been moved to Sunday, December 12th at 10:30 AM in the Sanctuary
- The Jews’ Next Dor Board will be joining the CBD board meeting next month for a round table discussion focused on identifying ways that the two boards can work together on a supportive and collaborative basis for the benefit of their respective memberships. Please give some thought to this topic before the September meeting.
- The Chair is proposing the formation of a by-laws committee with the charter to deliver proposals to the Board and later the membership on the following three topics:
- identify modifications to the Beth David bylaws to make CBD and its bylaws more inclusive and welcoming,
- now that the cemetery has been sold to the Endowment, to address the at large Board position that is currently identified as having a “Cemetery Committee Chair” portfolio
- to investigate changes to the current 45 day notification period for membership meetings that is now required to a shorter notification period.
The following members are being nominated to form a bylaws committee to explore these three issues and report back to the board in a time frame consistent with the current 45 day notification period before the Anuual Membership Meeting. which will be held on December 12, 2010. The nominees are Eric Lewis, Joanne Cornbleet, Eve Kedar, Howard Pomerantz, David Fishman, and Aileen Menkin.
Motion: Move that a bylaws committee consisting of Eric Lewis, Joanne Cornbleet, Eve Kedar, Howard Pomerantz, David Fishman, and Aileen Menkin be formed with a charter to investigate changes to the CBD by-laws in the area of membership inclusiveness, liaison to the Endowment with respect to the cemetery, and to recommend a reduction in the membership notification period in advance of membership meetings.
