Stitch A Mitzvah For Convention!
WRJ Pacific District has a long-standing tradition of giving back to our local communities and offering members an opportunity to participate in a mitzvah project connected to our Conventions. This year, we are knitting and/or crocheting hats for women in need. The hats will be donated to two very worthy organizations in our Convention host city of San Diego: (1) Rachel's Women's Center, which provides support and housing for homeless women in a safe environment where they can get help and a hot meal; and (2) Susan G. Komen, whose mission is to save lives and end breast cancer by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

The more hats, the better! Even if you are not able to join us at Convention this year, we encourage you and your sisters in handicrafts to make hats and send them with your sisterhood representative to San Diego.
We'll also have an opportunity during Convention to make hats. Join us for our late-night “Stitch A Mitzvah” session on Thursday, October 18. Materials will be provided. Or you can bring your own yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks. This is a great opportunity to meet new women while coming together for a common good. We hope you'll join us and look forward to doing this mitzvah together!

Sharsheret to Offer a Mitzvah Opportunity at Convention!
Many thanks to everyone who has joined our Stitch A Mitzvah for Convention Campaign. We are excited to see so many women busily knitting and crocheting hats to donate to women in need.
We are also excited to announce an additional Mitzvah Opportunity for our Pacific District Convention. Sharsheret, a national non-profit supporting young Jewish women and their families facing breast and ovarian cancer, will be at Convention. Sharsheret will offer a workshop on “Creating Caring Communities” and provide a resource table for Convention attendees.
Convention attendees can help by participating in Sharsheret's “Busy Box” program. Join your WRJ sisters in supporting Sharsheret by donating new toys and activities for children whose moms are undergoing cancer treatment. See the flyer for recommended items. Bring your donations to the Sharsheret resource table at Convention.
