Sharing Family Stories
Wednesday, June 18th at 7:00 pm
Community Room
The next meeting of the Sharing Family Stories has been scheduled. We have been meeting for several years to share our history and family legends, and stories.
Please feel free to attend even if you have not been to previous meetings. We were all moved by the stories that were told at the Passover Seder. And there is still so much to share. We will also work on the maps that identify our roots.
Please direct any questions and RSVP to Linda Goldman at [email protected]

Meal deliveries to the home-bound through S.O.S. (Sonoma Overnight Support)

Some people volunteer each week, others every other week, or once a month, and others when they can. All are needed. With questions or to get more information contact: Barbara Sachs Senn ( Social Action Committee) at [email protected]

Every other month members of Shir Shalom gather in Burlingame Hall on a Sunday afternoon to prepare and then deliver a family style meal for H.A.S. For more information on this please reach out to Lee Wanetik at [email protected].
