A Message from Atlantic District President, Jan Shaw

Welcome to the WRJ Atlantic District website! After three years of not being together, in person, it’s our goal to make you feel seen and heard. Whatever stage of your WRJ journey, the District is here to work toward bringing out the best in you and to make this world a better place. We are working together to help District women in “Keeping the Flame Alive” in the coming term through our programming and outreach efforts.

This website is a great reference guide. We will post our upcoming events here, so check back to keep up to date. There is information in our District Manual about our District, by-laws, policies and procedures, District forms, and contact information. We also have information about opportunities for giving to our two District Funds and our Alumnae group.

Feel free to email me to stay in touch. Join our District conference calls, attend District and local area events. Stronger together, we contribute to the Jewish people as we do the work of WRJ and our District.

In Sisterhood,

Jan

I am excited to announce that applications are open for this year’s microgrants to fund WRJ-affiliated women’s group events focused on engagement, social justice and advocacy. Has your women’s group been hesitant to plan an event because you didn’t have the funding available to bring it to life? If
