Senior Friendship Club
Our dues are $12 a year. From 12-12:30 pm we have social time during lunch and then a short meeting until 1:00 pm when we have an entertainment program until approximately 1:45pm. At 2 pm we usually have a lively discussion group on current events.
We circulate a bi-monthly newsletter, printing all Birth and Anniversary dates, plus programs that we will have for the next two months and other informative information. Our non-temple members do not receive the Kolenu (PTBE monthly newsletter), so our senior newsletter, edited by Cecile Winton, is very useful to them.
We also supply door-to-door van service, furnished by PJCC and they provide this service for our Friday Shabbat services and Oneg on the 1st Friday of every month. Hopefully, more people will avail themselves of this service.
At Purim, we make cakes and sell them at our temple Purim Carnival - all proceeds are turned over to our Religious School. Our club is the only Jewish Senior Group that is a member of the San Mateo County Senior Forum. We send money to the Jewish National Fund for trees in Israel for our departed members and we weekly collect cans and packages of food for Samaritan House.
