A Message From Sisterhood President Selma Keil
Shalom, Sisters!
As my first year of President draws to a close, I’d like to thank my executive board members and chairpersons for their outstanding contributions to Sisterhood. I’m proud of our programs, activities and events that were held during the 2010-2011 year. It has been a pleasure to work, meet and socialize with our members, too. I have always subscribed to an “open door policy” and welcome your suggestions and comments about our Sisterhood. Please email me at skeil0627@gmail.com – let’s talk! We will be meeting for lunch and maj jongg during the summer on the second and fourth Monday of each month. Bring a bag lunch and a snack to share to TBO at noon. We always have great conversation, good games and fun. If you would like to play, please contact me, so we can arrange the tables.
Our gala fashion show/luncheon is on Sunday, November 13, 2011. It is going to be a fantastic event! Cathy Glassman needs many volunteers to make it successful and she’ll be sending out notices for meetings. Check the Sisterhood website as well as your emails. Plan to attend this major fundraising event
Our board is already planning our calendar for 2011-2012. We look forward to another exciting year with events, programs and activities that appeal to all of our members. Won’t you try to become more involved next year? There is always a place for you in Sisterhood – volunteering, attending events, making phone calls, playing maj jongg, joining a committee, etc. Let’s strive to increase our membership and our involvement. You will feel so much better if you do!
Have a wonderful summer! Whether you are home or away, Sisterhood is always here for you.
Selma Keil, President
