September 2019 Newsletter

Sisterhood News
Elise Woods
Greetings from the Sisterhood!
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is ready for another year of
programming with the TAS Sisterhood. Ladies, if you haven’t yet joined
the Sisterhood, we hope you will consider doing so this year as we have
many fun events planned for all ages.
To kick off the year, we will be holding a Sisterhood-sponsored happy
hour event on September 13, 2019, at 5:30 pm. This will be the first Friday
evening “Kehillah MAGNET.” While the Religious School students are
eating dinner and having class, we invite the parents and other adults to
join us for wine, soft drinks, and light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments.
This will be a wonderful opportunity to socialize and reconnect if you
have been away from the temple during the summer. Even if you do not
have a Religious School student, please feel free to join us.
In addition, please mark your calendars for Sunday, October 6, 2019, 9:30
am, for our Member and Prospective Member Potluck Breakfast. This has
been a very successful event the last couple of years and we expect the
same this year. Look for a Sign-Up Genius to come around closer to the
event.
We need volunteers to work in the gift shop on Friday evenings and
Sunday mornings. Pat Wolkow, Denise Gordon, and the gift shop
committee have worked very hard to upgrade and enhance the inventory
in the gift shop but we could really use others to donate an hour or two
of time to keep the shop open as often as possible. Please contact me or
Pat Wolkow if you are willing to help.
As a reminder, the Sisterhood sponsors the Tree of Life sculpture in the
synagogue lobby. Included with this newsletter is a flyer that can be used
to order leaves that may be inscribed to highlight or commemorate
joyous events like births, weddings, anniversaries, graduations,
Confirmations, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, or to honor parents, family, and
friends. Please consider inscribing a leaf for your next special event. Your
memories will endure in our synagogue for a lifetime!
