Note from our Board President

On behalf of the entire board of Congregation Beth Shalom, I would like to thank EVERYONE who has contributed to our bottle & can drive. Your kindness and generosity cannot be measured in mere words alone. We at CBS truly appreciate the overwhelming response and wonderful outpouring of positivity not only from our members, but from the ENTIRE community. Continue to stay safe and be well!

Due to the overwhelming response we are still accepting bottles through Friday, June 26.
