This afternoon the SAZ COEJL board meets to once again consider our future direction for the next few years. These sessions are always full of "big ideas" - in fact, this time I asked that every member bring a "big idea" and a plan for implementing it to the meeting. We may not be able to implement them all, this year or ever, but it is a chance to get some thoughts on the table. One thing that is very exciting is that one of my colleagues and I have built a SAZ COEJL website that stands alone, instead of being linked to the Jewish Federation's site. Why is this important? Well, it's something we can edit, instead of relying on help from the Federation. And, there are no size limitations, so we can have links and photos galore. There's a link, or there will be soon, to the page in this blog.
I am very interested in rainwater harvesting (doing a demonstration project with the Watershed Management Group, for example) as one of our board member's family has done already, is a definite possibility. With this project, I'd like to do some workshops for the community, educating them on how easy this actually is, and bringing in some teachings about "mayim, mayim, mayim" - always an issue in this hot, dry desert. I am very curious to see what other folks bring to the table.
And, given that tonight is Shavuot, there will be cheesecake ...
Shalom,
Susan
