Spotlight on... OSTNS Social Initiatives
Hello Fellow Ohev Members,
Due to the constraints of Covid, we haven't had the chance to engage with each other socially, nor have we been able to welcome new members (joined in the last 1-5 years) in an official capacity. Feel free to sign up for one/both of these new initiatives to socialize and welcome new members. Link to the programs can be found here.
1. Buddy Program- Sign on to be a buddy family! Buddy families will be paired with new shul members and will welcome new members in whatever ways they choose (inviting for high holidays, sending Mishloach Manot, invitations for meals, playdates, assisting with getting set up in the community, etc)
2. Shabbat Meal Hosting Program- Some weeks you may not want to cook a meal and some weeks you may want to host a meal! Sign up to be a host or be hosted by someone else and we will pair you together :) We only listed three months at a time.
