SISTERHOOD NEWS<br />
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE - Debbie Zaglin & Elyse Schrage, Co-presidents<br />
With our Paid-up Membership Brunch approaching, I’d like to take this opportunity to review<br />
some of the highlights of the programs and events that Sisterhood has supported. By becoming a<br />
Sisterhood member and paying your dues you are doing so much to help our congregation! Plus,<br />
you are joining a wonderful group of hard working ladies and thus gaining many new friendships.<br />
We were able to make several gifts to the congregation over and above our usual pledge.<br />
We purchased the phone system. We purchased a new freezer and dishwasher to enhance the<br />
Sisterhood dairy kitchen. We also purchased a large number of new rolling tables. The kitchen<br />
items and tables are used by the Religious school for special events and the Congregation for<br />
breakfasts, Oneg Shabbats and Kiddushim. We make contributions to the Friday Family Friendly<br />
service every month, we support the Yom Hashoah program, and we donate to the Journal Dinner<br />
Dance. We put in carpeting for the youth lounge and we support the Scholarships for High School<br />
graduates. We support the Havdalah Program. We donate funds to the Rabbi’s Discretionary<br />
fund. And the list could go on and on.<br />
We have had many excellent programs at our meetings, usually on the first Tuesday evening<br />
of the month (but not this month.) We have also had many successful fundraisers such as Bingo<br />
and Boutique Night. Our Book Club read and discussed many interesting books, both of <strong>Jewish</strong><br />
and general interest. We ran holiday programs for our children and grandchildren. Our Shalach<br />
Manot program for Purim is always well received.<br />
There is no question that PJC Sisterhood is an essential asset to the Congregation. Join<br />
us this year and help make a difference. It’s a great way to meet new friends of all ages and soon<br />
you’ll really look forward to the next meeting and seeing your new “sisters” again. We are looking<br />
forward to meeting and greeting all of you at the Paid-up Membership Brunch on Nov.10th.<br />
Wishing you all a very Happy Chanukkah at the end of the month!<br />
PLEASE NOTE:<br />
THERE IS NO GENERAL MEETING<br />
ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH.<br />
