August 2025
Hello, all,
Our Program Chairs, Cyd Charrow and Vicky Noggle, did a phenomenal job arranging our 2025-2026 Sisterhood programming. This year, our schedule has an artsy spin. Considering that Cyd is one of our Program Chairs, this should not be a surprise to anyone! I don’t want to divulge our 2025-2026 Season yet, because you will be receiving our Calendar of Events in the mail shortly.
Our Sisterhood Board is meeting on July 22 at Keke’s Breakfast Restaurant (Donna does this
yearly) to stuff ourselves and stuff Sisterhood membership applications and Calendar of events. As in past years, our membership dues are $18 for BI congregants and $54 for non-BI congregants. Please remember that most of the dues is spent on either shivas or given back to the Temple. Last year, we had a one-two punch with the loss of Rabbi Carla and the Hurricane Milton damage done to the building, plus all of the shivas we helped pay for. Please join Sisterhood again this year. Your $18/$54 donation entitles you to two luncheons (paid-up members luncheon in November and end-of-season luncheon in May) plus our monthly programming. We also contribute to the oneg set-up and clean-up fund (where would we be without Mabel!). Yes, we sound like a PBS pledge broadcast. Yes, inflation is hitting us all very hard. We all want to travel to see our families elsewhere, but remember that our Sisterhood is here to help when we need them.
Please keep an eye out for your membership renewal form and 2025-2026 Calendar of Events,
which should arrive by the beginning of August.
Stay tuned,
Suzy & Donna
