Sisterhood October 2025
Hello, all, Tuesday, September 2nd was our first Sisterhood meeting of the 2025-2026 season.
Michelle Atkins-Schaefer presented “Osteoporosis–How to Help Yourself!” Over 80 Sisterhood and community members attended, all of whom were interested in this subject, which affects most post-menopausal women and 40% of men. Too many of us have fractures from brittle bones. For more information, please visit the National Institute of Health, www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/ osteoporosis.
Due to the High Holy Days, there will be no meeting in October. However, your presence is requested on Sunday, October 5th at 9:30 a.m. behind Beth Israel. We annually decorate the Sukkah, and we need as many Sisterhood members who have the time, ability, and inclination. Donna is sponsoring a pizza lunch.
Please come out and support us! See page 9 for more information. Sisterhood Board wishes all of you a happy and healthy 5786!
