Sisterhood Happenings

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Pam Bilfeld for sponsoring our talk (and dessert reception) on “Stress management for Busy Adults” by Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg, founder of Kids Kicking Cancer, last week. This event, co-presented with the Men’s Club was very informative and helpful. Thank you to everyone who came.
Our membership drive and dinner invitations have been mailed out. Please ask everyone you know if they have received it.  If you haven’t received it, please call the shul to check if your address is correct, and email me for all the dinner information. Please encourage all you friends to join us as lifetime members!
