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