Mah Jongg Day & Luncheon upDate The Janet Gordon Annual Mah Jongg Day & Luncheon
is Beth Sholom Village’s signature fundraising event of the year and a beloved tradition for our community. Because the health and safety of Beth Sholom’s residents, patients and supporters is our top priority, at this time it is simply not possible to host an inperson event. While excellent resident and patient care remains the focus, this year more than ever before, Beth Sholom Village needs your support. COVID-19 has resulted in unprecedented costs associated with fighting to keep residents and staff safe. In place of what would have been your registration fee or sponsorship for this year, please consider making a donation to Beth Sholom Village. All donors will receive tickets for the live virtual raffle on October 25, 2020. Visit www.bethsholomvillage.com/donate to contribute and choose your prizes today, or call Amy Weinstein, Director of Philanthropy at 757-961-3046 with questions.
