As the sun sets so late we are not sure if there will be a Havdallah service or not. On Thursday evening, May 10 at 6 PM, there will be a fashion show at Talullah in the Rt. 200 shopping center behind Barnes and Noble.. We will serve tea sandwiches, cookies and something to drink. There will be a $5.00 charge and everyone present will receive 20% off for all purchases made that evening. Contact Betsy Brody [<esb501@yahoo.com> or 347-5597] both to indicate an interest in modeling and to advise that you are coming.
We had two very successful programs in April. Our Passover food program with a discussion about different regional and family traditions, lunch and tastings on April 1, and our Book discussion regarding the Sabbath and relating to Senator Lieberman’s book was very interesting. The Annual Meeting was held at 12:30 PM on Sunday, April 29 in conjunction with the school’s BBQ. The following slate was elected: President - Rochelle Gerofsky and Julie Rochlin, Vice Pres. - Betsy Brody, Treasurer - Florence Lang, Rec. Sec’y - Ann Conley, Corr. Sec’y - Carol Rohde, Trustees - Naomi Berman and Terri Stein.
The Passover program included the creation of a Passover cook book which you can purchase for $2.00 at the gift shop at any time.
Due to increased costs the dues will go up to $36 effective July 1. Women are encouraged to pay next year’s dues prior to the installation luncheon on June 9. This year there are 2 good reasons to pay early: paid in advance members are eligible for a door prize at the luncheon and dues paid early will be accepted at this year’s rate of $30.
Sisterhood Sabbath will be Friday, June 8 followed by the annual installation lunch at Olive Garden. This year the installation will be conducted by a WRJ-SE District past President, Wendy Adamson, who will be our guest speaker. a second reservation form in in this bulletin.
Please remember to shop at our new and improved Sisterhood Judaica shop (call Frances Malever 732-2648 if you need something you don’t see in the shop). We can provide many of your other needs: to order Uniongrams and cards call Toby Burros, our ‘sunshine lady’ (245-3221), to order Tree Certificates in support of the Jewish National Fund and Israel call Florence Lang (237-5597).
Bring toiletries to Temple for distribution to women’s shelters by Mickey Scott and bring used “tech trash” for recycling (cell phones, computers, chargers, etc - thanks to the efforts of Leah Ehrlich).

We have Shabbat candlesticks, mezzuzot, greeting cards, Hanukiot, and many other beautiful items. Also catalogs are available for ordering many more. See an officer of Sisterhood for assistance.
Loose Change?
The Sisterhood of Temple Beth Shalom has a fundraiser to “Dress up the Social Hall” and make some improvements in the kitchen. The TBS Sisterhood Gift Shop sells Tzedakah containers for a nominal fee. Please buy a Tzedakah Box and keep it at home. It can be filled with loose change, emptied, turned in, and refilled again! These coins really add up. A Temple member gave us this idea when they gave us a donation of their Tzedakah Box...a bagful of coins worth $87.00. We loved the idea and members enlarged on it and so here we go! Sisterhood will even roll the coins for you. Any denomination, even that green paper stuff… WE’LL TAKE IT ALL !!! Let ’s see how much we can collect for TEMPLE decorating & refurbishing.
