Staffing
As Havurah continues to grow, our staffing needs have increased. Members recognize that administrative needs and support for volunteers are priorities. The following chart shows other areas that survey respondents identified as needing attention from Havurah leaders.
The survey also asked specific questions about adding staff. The following chart shows where respondents felt new staff should be focused. Respondents overwhelmingly agreed that Havurah leadership should determine which staff positions should be created and filled. We now have a Staffing Task Force focused on this work.
Additional staff will of course add to our financial needs. Survey respondents were also asked about their willingness to pay increased dues to support new staff. This chart shows their responses.

Come bring your drills, your excitement for working with lumber, and your good teamwork. Sign up over on the High Holidays Volunteer Sign-Up, the final volunteer spot of the season. Thank you! -

Just for Havurah members, our Mahjong Group is a fun, social activity that builds community, encouraging new friendships and cementing old ones. And while some of us may play elsewhere as well, we all agreed that restoring its place as an ongoing congregational activity will be a good fit for Havurah and those of us who play or want to learn the game. -
