I hope your summer is off to a great start and you are finding ways to keep cool. This is going to be a stellar year for our Sisterhood. We have great programs and events lined up. Our SIGs (Sisterhood Interest Groups) have something for everyone to be engaged in. The full calendar can be accessed through the Sisterhood website as well as the CBT calendar. We even have room for pop-up events and outings. You can download the calendar list by month.
In June the board met and has made some changes and action items:
For our bnai’ mitzvah students Sisterhood will gift a “Ring of Trees” (3) through Jewish National Fund.
Our Social Action project will support TheSuitcase Project (TSP)
(TSP) provides support to individuals in difficult transitions in partnership with Mosaic Family Services, The Texas Muslim Women’s Foundation and TRAC. TSP assists women and their children coming out of domestic abuse and trafficking situations by providing them with in-shelter necessities as well as with essential home items when they begin to live independently. They also support children aging out of foster care as they transition to adult responsibilities. If you would like to take the lead on this and or want more details, please let me know.
We are in the process of securing a space at CBT where we can offer coffee and have “Schmoozing Sundays” while the Learning Center is in session. We’ll offer open play for Mah Jongg, games and opportunities to learn some new games. Interested in taking the lead? Please reach out to me!
Rewrite our by-laws. I will need two or three past Presidents to serve on this committee. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Please remember to renew your membership. It’s only $40 ($15 goes to our national affiliate, the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism). If you haven’t been a member, now is a great time to join! Membership forms are now available on the website. The online membership form includes the following:
Sisterhood Membership 2024-2025

Sisterhood Membership Brunch- 2024
Areas of Interest- 2024-2025
Some of the forms have been updated so make sure to complete them. If you need paper forms, please let Robyn Rose know.
As I stated earlier, we are going to have some amazing events. But we need your help to make it happen. Each of the following needs a committee to ensure they are successful events. Let me know if you would like to be on a committee or if you have any questions.
October 27 - Sisterhood Paid Up Brunch
January 26 – Mind, Body & Soul
I look forward to seeing everyone at the “Get the Scoop” on August 18th if not sooner.
l’Shalom,
Rhonda
