Kol Ami means Voice of the People. Our group is also a circle of friends. Our vision is to establish a strong reform Jewish Community in the University City Area of Charlotte. We look forward to meeting other "friends" who will join us for this journey.

Today was an exciting day as the planning committee for North Charlotte (University City/Huntersville) met with Rabbi Scott Sperling of the Union of Reform Judaism

Rabbi Sperling provided our group with the background of the reform movement and examples of how small synagogues have sprung up throughout the country.

Our goal for now is simple. Provide education, social and spiritual activities to bring the reform and unafilliated community together in the University City area.

We will be forming the following committees to help us in this endeavor.
Steering Committee (Chair, Education Chair, Membership Chair, Public Relations, Treasurer, Secretary).

We will have the following the following four sub-committees for executing the plans.
Education (Hebrew School, Adult Education, Community Outreach)
Social (Holiday events, Youth programs, and other social events)
Financial (Long term planning and Fundraising)
Communications (Newsletter, Public Relations)

We expect to fill these roles as we develop and find individuals.

Shortly we will be setting up a listserv and creating a calendar of events.
