B'nai Chai -- History of our Club & Website
last updated{topupdate} bnaichai@gordonrichard.com

Around June 7, 200. Richard Gordon creates a Chai website including two constitutions, the Chai constitution and one Richard wrote, adapting it from the Chai version, which he suggested take the place of the Chai constitution and be the basis of a new club called B'nai Chai.

July 9, 2000. The first event promoted by Richard's website and e-mail messages attracted 24 Chai members and friends to see The Perfect Storm and to have dinner together at Perkins. This was the first Chai event where a website and e-mail messages played a key role in promoting a successful Chai activity.

July 10, 2000 Chai's reorganization meeting was held in the Temple's APR room. The Rabbi attended and his assistance ensured that the meeting was productive. By general consensus, a new group was formed called B'nai Chai. Thirty attendees signed up as members of this new Temple club. A committee was formed to draw up a new constitution which will be brought before the membership for review within three months. The committee members are Jerry J., Larry G., Joe K., Ira B., Phyllis R. and Diane S. While the committee works and until officers are elected, during a three month transitional period, Richard Gordon agreed to act as coordinator, and through this website, keep activities going and facilitate the exchange of ideas among members interested in giving their views on what they want B'nai Chai to become.
