The Hadassah National Conference in Las Vegas was attended by our Co-Presidents Shirley Shalett and Joyce Spartonos. They, along with over 700 women, represented chapters from all over the country. Kudos to Shalom Chapter for being one of only a few chapters to receive the award for 100+ paid up memberships. Well done, Shalom Membership Committee!
Now that we have rested for a few months, it’s time to get back to business while having some fun along the way. Bringing you up to date until the end of this year, here is a brief preview of our exciting events and meetings.
September 9 at Oakwood Clubhouse, 24218 Riggs Road, Sun Lakes – Our kick-off meeting to get you prepared for the rest of the year!
All about Reiki – Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Our speaker will provide demonstrations of the basic Reiki positions with a chance for attendees at this meeting to experience Reiki.
