Good evening everyone,
I hope you all had peaceful and healthy weekends.  For the upcoming week, please take note:

Gan Shalom will be "in session" on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  We will be "off line" Thursday and Friday for the Passover holiday.  Next week, we will host Gan Shalom as we have been every day except Wednesday.

New sign-up sheets have been posted for teacher calls this week, Mon - Wed, and next week Monday & Tuesday.  I will post sheets for the second half of next week over Passover weekend.  Please make sure to log into Remini and reserve your time.

I have added sign-up sheets on the Gan Shalom page for calls with me.  I know I have emailed and/or spoken with many of you, but the idea was suggested for a "scheduled" opportunity to chat, so I'm happy to give it a try.  This week, I set up times on two days.  Going forward, I will aim for three days a week, at varying times.  Of course, I'm still happy to just respond to email requests for a call if that works better for you.

I know there have been a few questions about UPK, both for this year and next regarding the lottery.  I am trying to get definitive answers, and I will pass them along as soon as I do.

Please remember that the synagogue will be hosting virtual Seders on Wednesday and Thursday evening at 5:30.  All of the details are in the calendar on the RSNS website.  Also, we will be hosting a Gan Shalom Model Seder on Tuesday, APRIL 07 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.  Please join us @  https://zoom.us/j/9548108216 or use Meeting ID: 954 810 8216

Finally, if you happen to have knowledge in the areas of online raffles and/or auctions, please let me know.  We had a number of parents work so hard to obtain great items for the Parent's Night Out, and we would love to figure out a way to still have some fun with a raffle/auction, and put the items donated from many local businesses to great use when we can all leave our homes!

Hope you all have a calm week,
Rhya
