Congregation Temple Israel’s new Women’s ConnecTIon group has planned two June events to promote breast cancer awareness. On Thursday, June 12, it will present “Think Pink,” an evening featuring a presentation by Gateway to Hope. The event is free and open to all women in the community. Participants are asked to bring a pink appetizer or dessert and a donation of yarn or knitted blankets to be donated to cancer patients. Weather permitting, the event will take place outdoors in the Nackman Garden of Temple Israel, 1 Rabbi Alvan D. Rubin Drive in Creve Coeur. 

On Saturday, June 14, a team of Women’s ConnecTIon members will participate in the 16th Annual Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure in downtown St. Louis. To make a donation in support of the team, visit komenstlouis.org, click on the donate button, and search for the Temple Israel team.
