2014 Membership Drive

2014 membership drive will begin on September 1.  Renewal

information will be distributed in September.

Membership renewal prior to December 31, 2013 will be appreciated.

Suggested membership is $54.00 for individuals and $108.00 for couples

and family.  As you complete your membership renewal for the coming

year, please consider an additional financial contribution to support

future events.  Please keep an open hear and mind and consider that

membership covers only a small portion of AVIV of Arizona’s

annual operating budget.  We thank you for your past and future

support.

 (AVIV of Arizona is committed to being accessible to anyone seeking an LGBT Jewish community; financial capacity will never be a barrier to membership and confidential arrangements can be made with our treasurer for those experiencing financial hardships.)

Our AVIV of Arizona Shabbat Prayer Book is being updated.

Greg J. volunteered to lead this effort.  Please email Greg at gjoorabchi@yahoo.com

with your suggested prayers, readings, or songs 
that should be added. 
Volunteers are needed to help in the momentous project.

To commemorate their 50th wedding anniversary, 

Chuck and Janice Dietz started an AVIV prayer book fund.  

More donations are needed to print at least 
30 copies of the new prayer book.

Please make a donation to support this project.

Thank you to Marcie and Rabbi Barton for allowing us to use their collection of siddurim from ASU Hillel in the interim.
