Dear Friends,
As we've committed to make our dream of
Camp Ramah in Northern California a reality, we've been blessed with
the donations of expertise from professionals in marketing, real
estate and non-profit. Their generous contributions have allowed
us to move this project forward on a shoestring. The staff of Camp
Ramah in California also continues to devote time and energy to this
effort.
Despite our tight-fisted fiscal policy,
some expenses are unavoidable. Incorporating our 501(c)(3) required
the consultation of an attorney. Vetting sites requires the hiring
of land-use consultants who can navigate local zoning requirements
and recommend water, waste and building strategies.
Until now, we have depended on a small
circle of generous donors to fund this project. We are ready to
widen the circle. Any gifts that you make to the Northern California
Initiative of Camp Ramah in California will be restricted to costs
directly supporting the site search and development of a Northern
California camp.
Small gifts will make a big impact.
Larger gifts will make a huge impact. Having funds available to hire
professionals as we need them--rather than seeking funds after we
identify a site worthy of further research--will make us more nimble
in the real estate market and increase the likelihood that we can
acquire a site in 5771.
We don't have any CDs or baseball caps
as thank you gifts. Your only reward will be knowing that you played
a foundational role in bringing the magic of Camp Ramah to a
generation of Jewish children in one of the fastest growing Jewish
communities in the world. What could be more satisfying than that?
Help us inaugurate our click here feature with a New Year gift to Camp Ramah in Northern California.
Thank You!

 We hope your observance of the Days of Awe strengthened your commitment to living the life to which you aspire. The members of the Board of Directors of Camp Ramah in Northern California, as well as the staff of Camp Ramah in California, join me in wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. May it be a year of learning and growth.
LaShanah Habaah b'Machaneh Ramah b'California HaTzfonit!
Next Year in a Camp Ramah in Northern California!
