faster than we can count them!
Everywhere there are so many
new faces and new names that it
is almost impossible to individual
ly remember them This is UNI
fortunate because everyone is en-
titled to the warm, friendly well
come we received when the num-
bers were smaller.
We still recall with gratitude the
first families we met who gener-
ously received us 1t behooveS
us all to open our hearts ana
homes to these new residents who
seek new roots in our community.
They bring us progress, new friend
ships. talents and ideas from their
communities which in turn means
a greater Phoenix!
The organizations and congre-
cations are doing a splendid job
in welcoming these new families
with teas, morning coffees, per-
sonaI introductiOns and member
shin gatherings One of the
reception committees worth spe-
claI noting is the Welcome Wag-
on Committee of Temple b IN
Israel which has received ma
tional recognition. 1t is under the
able guidance of Mrs. Sylvia
Plotkin. wife of Rabbi Albert
PIotkin. and her co-chairman for
this year, Mrs. Phyllis BObier.
Over 65 women make up h S
committee. Every member makes
a personal call on a family new
to the congregation. She takes with
her a packet containing two Sab
hath candles, a small bottle OF
ceremonial wine and informatlon
concerning every age group with a
sincere invitation to participate.
The friendly caller then follows up
with a phone call before the sister
hood meeting to accompany tne
newcomer to before-meetlng
apertif hour where she meets the
officers and leaders of the Temple.
