Temple Sinai’s Encore Program Reaches More Than Seniors holiday as well as preschool "graduation" and allows members of Encore to interact with the happy five year-olds. While Encore programs are designed with Temple Sinai members as the primary focus, all of the programs are open to the entire community with the costs kept at a minimum. For more details or to make reservations, contact Lisa Thorner at (303) 759-1827 or lisa@sinaidenver.org.
The Encore Program at Temple Sinai (pictured above) is committed to meeting the social needs of active and “more mature” members of our congregation and the Denver community. The organizing committee meets monthly to plan and work out the details of each program and tries to offer a wide variety of programming. May brought an all-day bus trip to Boulder with tours of Celestial Seasonings, Leanin' Tree and lunch on the Pearl Street Mall. June saw an all-day outing to the mountains with a stop in Black Hawk for food and fun.
