CELEBRATE THE FUTURE UPDATE (October, 2010) ...
   It is hard to believe a full year has passed since we began the Secure the Future campaign. To date, our fundraising efforts have raised more than $1.6 million, which has enabled the congregation to secure the financial future of its property on North Alvernon Way. Last year, we received an anonymous and extraordinary challenge grant of $500,000 that truly energized the campaign and propelled the congregation forward. What is equally rewarding is that more than 70 percent of the congregation responded to our call for support and participated in the campaign.

   Our work is far from over. There is much work to be done to retire our mortgage in its entirety. In the weeks and months ahead, we will continue to press forward to secure the future of Congregation Or Chadash and begin to utilize our property to its fullest potential.

    With your continued support, I’m confident we will get there.

   May your year be filled with abundant health, happiness, love, and prosperity.

   l’Shanah Tovah,
