The CBS Annual Meeting is Sunday, May 18 at 10 am. The meeting will be both in person and via Zoom, and the link is posted above in the Coming Up section.

Terms of three members of our nine-member board expire each year, and the congregation elects three members to three-year terms at this meeting. This year, the terms of Paul Eisenstein, Ben Trachtenberg and Emily Fuller will expire. Paul and Ben will stand for election for another term; Emily will not.

Nominations for the three positions are now open. Any CBS member in good standing interested in serving should contact Alix Cossette (alixcossette@gmail.com) and Marc Alexander (mvalexan@gmail.com) and submit a brief statement describing your reasons for applying.

The deadline for nominations is May 2. The nominating committee will evaluate applicants’ qualifications and propose a slate of three candidates for consideration at the annual meeting. The composition of the slate, along with the names of any other candidates, will be publicized in eShalom ahead of the annual meeting.

Regardless of whether a candidate is on the slate, all candidates considered by the nominating committee are free to run and the members may elect any three of the candidates. Since the meeting will have both virtual and in-person participation, we will not accept nominations from the floor that day. In other words, only members of the congregation who express interest to the nominating committee by May 2 may run for the board at the annual meeting.

With questions about the process, or if interested in serving on the Board, contact Alix at alixcossette@gmail.com.Alix co-chairs the nominating committee this year.

We thank you for considering service to CBS, and we look forward to seeing you virtually or in person at the annual meeting.

For Columbia, a coalition of volunteers from local churches, will be on our property from 9 am to 2 pm on Saturday, April 26th. Along with CBS and Newman Center Interfaith Garden volunteers, they will install deer fencing and create a new raised bed that we’ll plant with apple and pear trees.
 
The CBS board approved this work on this day because we don’t have sufficient budget or labor to support this major improvement to the garden. The decision to allow work on the property on Shabbat was considered carefully. We checked with Rabbi Ron Eichaker, who will be here that day, and he did not object.
 
We are fortunate that For Columbia, which mobilizes 2,100 volunteers for one Saturday every spring, chose our project this year. We will keep the noise to a minimum while services are in progress. Heavy materials will be delivered before Shabbat, and volunteers will park in the east lot so services are not disrupted.
 
We appreciate CBS’s support of our Interfaith Garden.
