Sisterhood January 2021
SISTERHOOD
As you read this, a new year is starting. Many of us are happy to see 2020 go and wishing for a much happier 2021. Sisterhood held our drive-up Hanukkah lunch with latkes, apple sauce, and more on December 13. We had a steady stream of people coming to share the meal as they went home to watch our streaming traditional Menorah- lighting celebration. Thanks to Sandi Rutner and her team for their hard work to make this event a success.
Suzi Cruz was the star attraction for our December meeting, an annual tradition for us. She had so many beautiful items to share with us on Zoom including jewelry and pocketbooks. Of course, she enticed us with her Sunshine Cosmetics lotions, potions, and makeup. The timing was perfect for Hanukkah gifts and to stock up for 2021.
Our January 5 meeting will still be on Zoom with a spe- cial program. Although many of us no longer do much cooking, several of us still like to rustle up old favorites. Comfort food has taken on more importance during the pandemic. We’ll enjoy short mouth-watering videos of our members making their favorite dishes from their own kitchens. Yes, we’ll supply the recipes so you can try your hand at home. The meeting is at 10:30 and you can watch on your computer, tablet or phone at https://zoom.us/j/7675439859
February 2 at 10:30, our favorite sponsor AvMed will present a book review.
