Annual Fund Update
Thank you to everyone who has already donated to the Annual Fund for the 2011-12 school year. We are currently at $146,657 in donations received which is 66% of our total pledged. As David reminded us all in last week's FTH, we are down in our overall pledges for the year. A great way to stretch your pledge is to make sure you have put in for a corporate matching gift if your employer provides that benefit. Reminders for the annual fund went out this week via email. You can pay your pledge directly online at Give Now. If you have any questions, please contact Alison Scott. At Easter, I reflect on what I am grateful for and one of the many things is this generous Sacred Heart community that gives so freely of their time, talent and treasure. Happy Easter!
