The weather has been so nice lately it makes me!feel like Spring may be here early this year. The arrival of Spring in Las Vegas always brings many exciting things.

Spring for our Women"s League means a!lot!of fun upcoming!events. I hope you'll !all!come take part with us.! First, there is a Torah Fund Luncheon this coming weekend!on!Sunday, March 2nd. Our guest performer is the famous actress,!Charlene Sher. Then for all of our TBS families,!March 9th is Mishloach Manot Mania. Come make Mishloach Manot boxes for family and friends.

In addition to a wonderful luncheon prepared by our own Kitchen Krew, we have the opportunity to be entertained by Charlene Sher, a WLTBS member, an acclaimed actress with a vast theater background who will perform "A Tale of Three Women." When you support TF, you are ensuring that Conservative Judaism will remain alive and well. Please help us fulll our goal of always making sure that there are Conservative Rabbis, Cantors, Educators and Lay Leaders to teach this and future generations. For any information regarding this event, please call Brenda Katz at 242.8577.

AN OPEN LETTER TO WLTBS: DIANE KAISER

There are so many wonderful things that Women's League does because there are so many things which all of you do for Women's League. Some of these are more obvious than others. We often speak of the success of our programs and the work that went into making them that way. We support each other and our synagogue. I would like to speak of one of these because it has touched my inner self and provided a model for my children and grandchildren. I hope you too will choose to become engaged in this manner. Last May (2013) I recited Haftorah Naso at Women's League Shabbat. #I spent two months learning not only the Troupe but the story behind the Haftorah, the story of Sampson. My teacher, Lillian Radomsky, helped me learn to chant the Haftorah and to understand the lessons it taught. # We talked about enunciating word endings as well as philosophy. We got to know and appreciate each other in so many ways. #And, what I learned is serving as a model for my children and grandchildren. #My rst grandchild will be reciting her #haftorah soon. #She knows she can go to her safta for help because her safta DID IT TOO! # I sincerely hope I have made her and Women's League proud. #You can do it too. I can recommend a wonderful teacher and friend. Diane Kaiser Women's League Vice President for Public Relations
