Please look for this form and be sure to return it prior to our print deadline of August 17, 2011 even if you do not have any changes.

Underwriting Opportunities
You may fund new initiatives or provide budget relief for costly projects so that more funds will be available for education and other activities. A donor can either totally or partially underwrite a project. Here are some current suggestions:
Confirmation Class Display - thanks to a number of generous contributions, we are delighted to have installed more than 70 Confirmation class photos on the 6th floor outside the Eisner Auditorium. Several additional gifts are sought to fully cover the costs of this project.
Sign Language Interpreters - we would like to offer Sign Language Interpreters at Erev Shabbat services once a month. A gift of $5,000 will cover a full year's calendar of services.
Please contact Deborah Siegel, Director of Development, at
646-454-3050 or dsiegel@crsnyc.org to discuss these or other underwriting opportunities. A list of suggestions can be found at http://rodephsholom.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Options-through-April-2011.pdf
