OPT Congregational Master Plan Meeting at 10:30 AM
2014 is the 150th Anniversary, the sesquicentennial, of our congregation. Our wonderful building opened its doors in 1957. It has served us well. The Oak Park Temple Board of Directors retained the services of Newman Architecture to design our entrance renovation and to help us create a "Master Plan.” This "Master Plan" requires the input of the congregation to make our best guesses about the physical needs of Oak Park Temple in the years to come. Your voice is important. Help us to contemplate and plan ways to allow our building to provide a vibrant home for our congregation long into the future.
OPT Annual Congregational Meeting
Join OPT at Noon on Sunday, January 27th for the Annual Congregational Meeting. The election of new board of directors will occur at the meeting along with the presentation of awards. Babysitting will be available during the meeting.
