 8th Grade Shabbaton

WITS is beginning preparations for the upcoming 8th grade Shabbaton Weekend that will be held December 14 through December 16.  There are many parents looking for the type of program that WITS offers, but are unaware of WITS.  It would be of great benefit if you could provide WITS with the names of any prospective students who would benefit from attending WITS.  As an alumnus, you can envision a student who would grow in WITS.  If you know an eighth grader that fits that mold, encourage them to attend the Shabbaton.   Once WITS receives the names, we will forward information to introduce them to the Yeshiva.  Please send,fax (414-963-1519) or email to witshighschool@yahoo.com any names you want included in our mailings to prospective students.

 Mach-WITS a Shekel Automatic Club Update
 Thank you to Shmuel Abrahamson(Bais Medrash) for joining the club this week raising our total membership to 47. Help us get to 50 next week! There is a new option this week designed for everyone to join so that everyone can get the opportunity to see Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study on their credit/banking statement.  It is designed for those that can't commit to higher amounts and are already giving to numerous other WITS funds- it is the $10 a month option.
I can't wait to see the remainder of our 811 alumni sign on for this one. 
If you give tzedaka through a donor advised fund at intervals for tax related purposes, you can still be part of the club.  Just contact me at alumni@witsyeshiva.com.  Members will be receiving their club cards soon in the mail.
