Congregation Beth Shalom Sisterhood will be holding a Warm Up America knitting event and a “Bams for Mams” mahjongg event in November.
Warm Up America, a program to make and donate handmade afghans to various social service organizations, holds community-wide “Come and Knit” events on the first Wednesday of each month. The next one will be on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 10 a.m. in Goldsmith Hall at Beth Shalom (14200 Lamar Ave., Overland Park, KS 66223).
Beth Shalom Sisterhood’s goal this year is for 50 new blankets to be created by its Warm Up America group. The organization also offers yarn and directions for those interested to knit at home.

Beth Shalom Sisterhood will also hold its 15th annual “Bams for Mams” mahjongg fundraiser for breast cancer research. The event, also open to the community, will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 13, in Goldsmith Hall at the synagogue. A brunch will begin at 10:30 a.m. followed by game time at 11 a.m. Attendees can play with their regular group or be placed with a table, and prizes will be awarded.
To participate, two separate checks must be sent to Carol Peltzie (14919 Brentwood Dr., Lenexa, KS 66215) by Monday, Nov. 4 — one for brunch and snacks, payable to Beth Shalom Sisterhood; and one as a donation (minimum of $15), payable to the KU Breast Cancer Center.
