Fundraising Updates
ATTENTION ALL CNT RUNNERS!!!!
OUR EXODUS 5K ROUTE IS APPROVED!
Cobb County has approved our route for the April 17th 5K Exodus Run.
We are planning for our Annual Silent Auction at the Purim Carnival on March 20. Over 200 letters have been sent out to restaurants, hotels, museums, and more. While I've had some response, it is certainly not enough to make this a successful fund raiser, so PLEASE consider what you can do. Letters to request donations will be on the desk at CNT. PLEASE take one or more and go to your favorite places of business to request their help. My phone number and email are included if they have any questions. We can supply our tax number upon request. Also, PLEASE ask family and friends if they can donate something from their businesses.
Thanks for all you can do to help.
