Line-Up of Activities

We hope everybody enjoyed Pesach and the nice spring weather. April kept Sisterhood quite busy! We had a beautiful Women's Seder thanks to hard work by Rabbi Greenberg, Cantor Zussman, Seder Chair Gayle Edmunds and the Seder Committee consisting of Laurie Aines, Sherry Gamoran and Lisa Levy. We were blessed so many past Sisterhood presidents could attend and we had the opportunity to honor them and present them with Miriam's cups.

We also thank Rabbi Greenberg, Brotherhood and the Caring Community for the opportunity to partner with them on "Chicken Soup for the Jewish Genes," a Health Forum & Shabbaton focusing on genetic disorders affecting Jewish children and adults.

Sisterhood Night Out should be a blast. We will elect our 2008/09 officers (mazel tov to all!), eat pizza and bowl at Pinstripes. We look forward to more Nights Out next year.

To plan ahead, we held a focus group and discussed ideas, concerns and thoughts on what we'd like Sisterhood to be. Email Sisterhood with your input.

We hope all Sisterhood members will attend our Closing & Installation Dinner on June 24, rescheduled from May 6. Please let Sisterhood know if you are interested in a position (big or small) with Sisterhood next year. We have lots of opportunities!

Gift Shop is busy with Passover sales, graduation, teacher and Confirmation gifts, B'nai Mitzvah stationery and other great items . Stop by and shop there and at our Middle East booth during the fundraiser, “Passport Jeremiah,” May 10.

We hope to see you and your friends at the Chai Society program May 14. Help the temple purchase a compact fire truck for Israel while enjoying lunch and fabulous music by the New Horizons Band, Cantor Zussman and organist David Lornson.
