MoTAS Special Update: Change in Speaker for Sunday 1/11/2015
A SPECIAL UPDATE REGARDING THIS SUNDAY’S SPEAKER
On Thursday, January 8, 2015, MoTAS learned that Councilman Englander was cancelling his talk as he had been unexpectedly called to Texas. The good news is that MoTAS has been able to arrange for a similar civic-oriented speaker in his place:
Lilian De Loza-Gutierrez
Community Relations Manager, LA Metro
Ms. Loza-Gutierrez will be speaking about transportation issues in the San Fernando Valley, including the various transportation projects in the works, such as improvements to the Orange Line, potential projects between the San Fernando Valley and the Westside, improvements to the freeway system, and much more.
She is in the process of getting me a bio; you can find her LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/pub/lilian-de-loza-gutierrez/5/40/481
The location and all timing for the meeting remains the same:
TAS Social Hall
8:45am MoTAS Member Breakfast
9:00am MoTAS Membership Activity Review
10:00am Speaker
Everyone is encouraged to attend. Please spread the word about our new speaker.
MoTAS Weekly for 1/07/15: Mitch Englander Speaking 1/11 @ 10AM — All Welcome
Making Your Contribution
Nonprofit organizations, such as TAS and MoTAS, thrive on your contributions. Whether contributions of time, contributions of money, or contributions of both — all are important for an organization’s survival. This is especially true of MoTAS, as we are not a dues collecting organization. Being a man, and being a member of TAS are the only requirements to be a member of MoTAS. Further, TAS does not financially support MoTAS in its operations, so the dues you pay to TAS are not indirect dues to MoTAS.
Financially, MoTAS survives on your contributions — primarily contributions to our annual appeal and contributions to our annual Golf Tournament. We held the Golf Tournament in October, and it looks like it did not bring in the surplus we had budgeted. This makes our annual appeal even more important.
In late January (right after the MoTAS Shabbat) we are mailing out our annual appeal letters. We urge you to provide financial support to our operations, at a level that is comfortable to your and that you feel reflects the contribution of MoTAS to your life and to the life of TAS. You may pay by check or credit card with the form in the letter, or you can contribution online at our Support Us link. We thank you in advance for your contributions; contributions $100 or over will be acknowledged on our Wall of Honor.
