We have active board meetings with many new faces and we continue to see huge turnouts for our signature quarterly breakfasts. We had another successful breakfast on January 29thwith 1964 gold medal Olympian, Jerry Ashworth. Thank you to Richard Wallner for organizing this successful breakfast; and to Michael Brodsky for donating a pair of Celtics tickets.
Project Home Again (PHA)
The Brotherhood has taken an active role in helping the cause. Each month, volunteers drive to homes and businesses and pick up donated household goods that are then distributed to families in need. This involves approximately 3 hours of work picking up household items and furniture, and delivering them to the PHA storage location in Lawrence.
We would love a few more volunteers who could give us a couple of hours once per month. Scott Mallory says that “the work we do to help the families assisted by Project Home Again is worthwhile and I am proud to be associated with it, we would love more volunteers, come check it out!” For more information please call Scott Mallory at 978-987-1970 or email him at rscottmallory@gmail.com.

Mitzvah Day (May 6, 2012)
Brotherhood Social Action Co-lead Scott Fink along with Scott Mallory is helping to organize the Temple’s “Mitzvah Day”. On this day, members of the Temple at large will participate in a dedicated day of service, both at the Temple and the broader Andover Community. The project will vary and may include cleaning up, painting, some small “fix it up” type projects and working at a food pantry. We will use this day to show our support and leadership in doing many small “mitzvahs”. If you would like to help, or if you have a project that you would like to suggest, please call Scott Fink at 617-299-9870or email him at fink@scottfinklaw.com
