WELCOME NEW

MEMBERS!

Two years have gone by in the blink of an eye, and my time as Womens League President is coming to an end. My term has been filled with joyous holiday celebrations, more serious get-togethers, and so very many meetings. I've gone to weddings, bar mitzvahs, baby showers, and sadly, some funerals. It has been amazing to share all these events with my Temple family. My personal life has been busy as well. Our middle daughter graduated from college in New Orleans, and we helped her move to San Diego to begin a new chapter in her life. Our son's Bar Mitzvah was also a major highlight, and I can't quite believe he's starting high school in the Fall. When I started this journey two years ago, I wasn't sure I'd be able to balance everything. How could I get all this done, and still be dedicated and organized enough to lead Women's League?

Well, as time went on, I discovered a secret about Women's League, and I'm going to share it with all of you. The secret of Women's Leagues success is its Sisterhood. I found balance in the support my sisters gave me, and in their willingness to help. I truly believe our teamwork is what made us most successful, and it is why we've been able to accomplish so many wonderful things over the past two years, and during the terms of the many wonderful women who served before me. Without everyone taking part and helping, we wouldn't have been able to host events like the Member Luncheon, the Sukkah Hop, or the Maccabee Market, nor would we have been able to make so many charitable donations to TBS and organizations within our Community.

I am so glad for all the opportunities I've had during my term. It's reminded me how important it is to stay involved and to help others. I've learned quite a few things along the journey, about myself, about commitment and perseverance, and most importantly, about the power of Jewish women working together. As your outgoing President, I want to say thank you to all my sisters, and also reiterate my commitment to staying involved. Don't expect to see me any less! Although it isn't an easy job, being the President isn't so bad when you have so many amazing women who want to give their time and help their community. Good luck to our new Presidents, whom I'm sure will do an amazing job with incredible support!
