------COMMITTEE OF HONOR ------

Throughout its history, Har Sinai has provided for the spiritual, educational and cultural needs of each generation. Our Temple will remain strong only as long as our members continue to provide a solid base of financial support. A significant portion of our dues income comes from the almost 60 generous Temple families who participate in our Committee of Honor. These are the members of our Congregation who have voluntarily increased their annual dues commitment to $1600 a family, and $900 for a single member. The generous support of the Committee of Honor, whose names appear on a plaque found in the Tree of Life Room outside the Social Hall, provides the additional income the Temple needs to fund Our current operating expenses. This support also enables the Temple to assist those unable to pay our basic dues. It allows us to continue our policy of never turning away a member from our Congregation because of financial need. In these difficult economic times, more than ever, we depend on those members who are willing tojoin our Committee of Honor. If you would like to become a member of the Committee of Honor, please contact the Temple office, the rabbi, or the officers of the Congregation. We thank you for your support.
