Even though it has been a couple of months beyond the holiday season, I thought you would all like to know some of the wonderful things Sisterhood, with the generosity of the entire congregation, was able to accomplish through our Share The Light program. Under the direction of Lisa Lapp and Stephanie Sipley, we were able to provide 45 children their wishes for the holidays. A total of 451 gifts comprised of clothing and toys were donated to Foster Kids of the Merrimack Valley Inc.,
The Mass Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and the Methuen Housing Authority. A special shout out to Andrew Riemer who, for his Bar Mitzvah project, solicited and collected an incredible number of Legos. Thanks to all of you whose donations helped so many kids smile a little brighter this year.
Debi Katz Marrow and Cheryl Marcus organized our first book swap. What a fun, cozy event - warm drinks, warm friends, warm conversation, and a great selection of books to share on a cold January night.
Sisterhood is proud is say we now have over 250 members. We are always updating and refining what we do to make our organization one that is relevant to you. Our nominating process has begun for next year and I know there are some terrific people with fresh ideas just waiting to participate more actively in Sisterhood. If we don’t find you, find us. Let us know how you’d like to help out!............................Karen Krichmar
