We have a long history of successful efforts upon which to build. Our Sisterhood, through its yearly efforts such as the Donor Luncheon, Comedy Night, and Author Brunch, and our newly reconvened Brotherhood, with its recent successful iPad raffle, have demonstrated that we can have fun planning and executing events such as these as well as help TBA in the process. Privately and publicly many of you have donated to our various temple funds in honor of a family simcha or in memory of a departed relative or friend.
