The temple is managed by the most dedicated volunteers in the Exec Committee and in the Governing Body however a non-profit organization relies on the services and support of the volunteers like you for helping in running the temple successfully.Â

| Guidlines |
| |
| 1. |
All Committee Chairs will have specific jobs when the volunteers arrive so that they can get to the work and leave with a sense of accomplishment in a given period of time. |
| 2. |
Everyone will be respectful and fair to all those who volunteer. |
| 3. |
Encourage a positive and œcan do attitude. |
| 4. |
When we work for more than three hours we will provide a small snack and drink to keep our energy and spirit going. |
