Committee Reports:

Communications Committee
Do you have a nose for news? Want to be a webmaster? Then join the Communications Committee! We are looking for additional members to help us compile stories for our newsletter plus someone to maintain our website. People on our committee also get to help with publicizing temple events. Contact Jim at email: communications@templeshirhadash.org for more information on this committee.
Membership
Surpassing our wildest expectations, we currently have more than 30 families who have become paid members. If you have not already joined Temple Shir Hadash, we invite you to attend our Shabbat services and see why it is so important to help us create a religious community in Westford.
Safety Committee
The Board has recently formed an ad hoc committee dedicated to setting up guidelines for our members' safety and security at Shabbat Services, Temple events, and the Hebrew School. We need volunteers to serve on this committee to help create a Safety & Security Manual. Our focus will be on security precautions and emergency evacuation procedures. Any additional ideas you may have regarding issues of safety and security would be appreciated and considered.
Social/Social Action (WJC@TSH) Committee
Our committee has two names; the Social/Social Action Committee and WJC@TSH. Why? We will drive TSH social activities, much in the same way that Westford Jewish Community volunteers have over the past 10 years. These volunteers have created a legacy, and the participation in our signature events such as the Hanukkah party (now in its THIRTEENTH YEAR!) has been widespread. In addition we are also committed to social action so that we can serve the community at large.
