Old Enough To Know Better
Beth Sholom is proud of the successes of its first social group, Old Enough to Know Better - aimed at our 60 years and older members, their spouses, companions and partners. This group continues to plan special events to appeal specifically to their demographic. A Steering Committee has been hard at work organizing their structure and brainstorming idea of interesting, entertaining and fun programming. The long term plan is to have quarterly programs of relevance and interest. If you are interested in working on the Steering Committee in the future or have ideas for programs you would like to see planned, please contact Dot Bilsky.
