As a multi-generational women’s auxiliary, the Women of TRS (WoTRS) is all about building a vibrant network of friendships. Whether playing mah jongg, sipping bubbly at our annual Mimosa Brunch, learning from nationally and internationally renowned experts on issues related to women’s empowerment, or sharing personal reflections at our annual Shabbat service, WoTRS offers women the chance to connect through advocacy and service work, continuing education, and social gatherings.

Membership in WoTRS is separate from TRS membership. As a WoTRS member, part of your membership dues goes to support the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) and the local Mid-Atlantic District WRJ. The $36 annual dues payment entitles membership from July 1 to June 30, the WoTRS fiscal year. As a first- time member, if you join in the months of April, May, or June of any year, you will have membership through the June 30 of the following membership year.
Here’s how to join:
1. Fill out the membership form.
2. Follow the instructions on the form confirmation page for how to make your payment online or via check.
Renewing Membership? If you receive TRS quarterly dues statements, you will see a line item to renew your WoTRS membership on your First Quarter dues statement beginning July 1st.
Each year, the Women of TRS organize a series of special events: our Mimosa Brunch featuring a distinguished speaker, Champagne & Chocolate to welcome women who are new to TRS as well as Drop-In Mah Jongg and our Volunteer Appreciation Event.
