From the Editor: The goal of the Weekly is to get MoTAS members the information they need on upcoming activities, and then get out of the way. If you have any information on MoTAS activities you need to get out to the membership, please contact the Weekly Editor at cybermaven@tasnorthridge-motas.org. During the summer, when there are not a lot of events, the weekly will appear … less than weekly. If you know of someone who should be getting the weekly, of if you had this forwarded this to you and you want to get on our sublist, please drop a note to cybermaven@tasnorthridge-motas.org and we’ll add you.
1. THANK YOU TO ALL THE SUKKAH BUILDERS
Thank you to all of those who helped build the Sukkah, obtain the supplies, and obtain the food that sustained us during the construction:

2. PANCAKE BREAKFAST – SUN OCT 12
Batter up, not for baseball but for our annual Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, October 12! Our Master Flippers, Scott and Bill, will be up at the plate, I mean grill, with their hot bats, I mean spatulas. We need the rest of the team that morning ready to play their positions: mixer, table set-up, serving and clean-up. According to Howard Miller, “we need kitchen help by 930, set-up and serving people by 1000. We should be home by 12:30”. There will be no extra innings. A sign up sheet was circulated at the September meeting; we also have an online volunteer sign up page set up at https://volunteersignup.org/RYTWY.
If you’re curious, the menu will include: Pancakes, fresh fruit, Syrup, Powdered Sugar, Butter, plus loads of great other toppings. It will be free to students and parents, although donations will always be welcome.
3. OCTOBER DINING OUT – CHI’S CHINESE – WE OCT 15
Would you like an easy way to help MoTAS financially? How about taking your family to dinner. The MoTAS “Dining Does Good” allows you to go out to dinner, and have the restaurant donate a portion of your check support the Men of TAS. Our October Dining Does Good” will be Wednesday, October 15 at Chi’s Chinese, 9635 Reseda Blvd. Northridge, CA 91324, (818) 886-6928, chis_chinese@verizon.net.
How do you get a flyer? You can find a flyer for the event at https://wp.tasnorthridge-motas.org/activities/dining/ (click on the image of the flyer) or download PDF from our Google Drive . From there, just click on the printer icon to print, or the three dots to download.
We really encourage you to come and support these events: we raise a little extra funds for our work, but more importantly, we come together and break bread as a Temple family on a regular basis. It is a real joy to walk into a neighborhood restaurant and see your Temple friends, to sit down and share a table and talk. This is the heart and goal of MoTAS: Building Relationships.
4. CHANUKAH BOUTIQUE – SU NOV 2
The annual Sisterhood Holiday Boutique is scheduled for Sunday, November 2 from 10am to 3pm. Typically, the Men of TAS helps with the food service. The current plan is that we will be picking up individually wrapped sandwiches and condiments, and providing bagged chips, canned or bottled drinks. We will need people to help pickup (and possibly pre-package) the food. We will need folks to sell and deliver the food. We will need folks to help clean up. If you will be able to help us at this event, please contact Larry Hoffman at larrynhoffman18@gmail.com or sign up at https://volunteersignup.org/3473L. In particular, we’re looking for volunteers to help inventory and shop. We could also use a volunteer to order and pick up from Subway
