The Sun Lakes Jewish Congregation Sisterhood will meet on Thursday, March 20, at 1 p.m. in the Chapel Center. Our guest speaker from the Minkoff Center for Jewish Genetics and the ASU Master’s program will present a program about your genes. Topics that will be covered include learning the pros and cons of over-the-counter DNA kits, learning about advances in gene therapy to help treat Tay-Sachs disease and other genetic disorders prevalent in Jews, and exploring the medical advances made possible since genetic testing has become more commonplace. Find out what CRISPR is. Hint: It’s not for your salad! For more information, contact Carol at [email protected].
Thank you to all the participants at Games Galore last month. Our annual fundraiser was a huge success. We also thank all those who donated gift baskets, restaurant gift cards, baked goods, and other prizes. The members of the Games Galore Committee and the Sisterhood board members did an outstanding job.
