FUNDRAISING REPORT

  I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer.  It is going by quickly and my children are finishing their summers at Camp Ramah Darom and on Ramah Israel Seminar.  As summer ends, we will be starting our new routines.   When you begin your new routine, please make some time for CBI.  Let me know how you can help.  The talents and time of every member can be used on the fund raising team.

                 One way is to support Les Pearlstein and the Kol Nidre Committee.  Naomi Berg will once again chair our phone a thon and her committee deserves a huge Todah Rabah!  When you are asked by your fellow members to support CBI monetarily, please respond generously. 

                 As I write this article, the SCRIP program is making some changes at the national level.  These changes should make it much easier for our members to use this program.  As we learn more about the changes, we will keep you informed.  Until then, you can still order cards whenever you need them.  Order forms are in the office.

                 Todah Rabah to Joan and Phil Redisch for chairing the Directory.  Is your personal or business ad included?  Don’t be left out of this great CBI resource.  

                               Todah Rabah to Anita and Lorrie Helfand for their work on the Book of Remembrance.

                 Do you shop and surf online?  Most web searches and purchases can benefit CBI.   If you shop online and would like to help CBI, contact me.  We need to educate our members about this untapped potential.  One great site is Goodsearch-www.goodsearch.com.  This site has a search engine and online mall. If you have not yet signed up, go to www.goodsearch.com and enter Congregation B'nai Israel of St. Petersburg as your charity.  Then click the link to add the Goodsearch toolbar to your computer.  Installation takes under 5 minutes.  There is NO ADDITIONAL COST to you and CBI makes money on each purchase and web search- WIN-WIN- please sign up now!!  Todah Rabah to all that have already been using this tool as a way to raise funds for our shul.
