SCRIP PROGRAM
Thank you to our shul members who have either re-cently started to participate in the Scrip program or
who have continued their involvement. I am happy to report that between July 1 and August 31, our shul has raised $1408! I sold the most number of supermarket
gift cards in August since I started running this pro-gram last summer, and most people didn't even start
their holiday food shopping yet! Ten new families have started to buy supermarket gift cards starting in July, and two new families enrolled in shopwithscrip.com
to make purchases from their favorite retailers. I look forward to hearing from many of you when you want
to start shopping for the chagim :) Daniella

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Acknowledgment or Kid’s Corner donations should be sent to:
We are doing the shul Rosh Hashana card project again. We have selected a really beauti-ful card this year, and the card will be custom printed and mailed to all shul members as well as any other families that are included in the card. The price remains at only $18 per family, and the card is something you can keep all year round to always know the names of all families and their kids. Please note that new members are free the first year. Please reply using the form in Debbie Lu-ger's e- mail to indicate that you want to be in-cluded in this year's card.
