To be successful, Beth Shalom relies not only on people's time, dedication and input but also on their financial support through their Minimum Annual Commitment (a.k.a. membership dues) and donations. Because families have different incomes, different demands on their resources and different future plans, the Board developed the following Minimum Annual Commitment (MAC) financial plan to guide families in determing their yearly MAC:

Even so, some people cannot afford their MAC, while others can afford more. Beth Shalom does not turn anyone away because of an inability to pay their full MAC. However, in order to achieve a financial balance, we ask that members assess honestly their financial situation. If, after doing so, you determine that you cannot pay your MAC, please contact the treasurer. If you can afford to pay more than your MAC, we encourage you to contribute more. Those who pay their MAC or more may choose to pay annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly via bank draft. Please write in your financial commitment for the 2016 - 2017 fiscal year. For those who require reduced fees, please enter the number "o" into the MAC field, and someone will be in touch with you shortly.
