Message From Our Co-President |
|
Dearest Sisters:
I hope you are doing well and have already gotten your COVID vaccination or have it scheduled, as we are so looking forward to gathering together in person again when it is safe to do so.
In the meantime, we are very excited about gathering together virtually for our annual
Torah Fund Event, this year to be held via Zoom on Tuesday, May 11th from 4-5pm. We will be celebrating the wonderful things that giving to Torah Fund accomplishes and we will be honoring our fabulous Co-President, Lina Pournazarian, with the Ha’Yay Olam Award. Please join us, as we cannot wait to see you all – if only on Zoom!
Warmly,
Marcy Melton
Your Sisterhood Co-President

My Dear Sisterhood Sisters,
I am a lucky person to have friends and sisters such as you. It meant a lot that you were thinking of me and took the time to send text, emails, make calls and send cards to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support!
Jina

Proposed Leadership Slate for 2021-2022
Like many non-profit boards during this past year, Sisterhood’s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee, voted to extend the tenure of our leadership for another year. The only significant change is that co-president Lina Pournazarian has decided to focus on programs in her new capacity as VP Programming.
The “new” team, led by Marcy Melton as president, will be installed in June as we all look forward to the year ahead!
