Fundraising Committee

The Fund Raising Committee activities include evaluating a wide variety of fund raising options; deciding which ones should be pursued as events for the congregation for the year; setting goals for each event; developing plans, activities, schedules, and responsibilities for each event; carrying out the activities and requesting assistance from the congregation members as appropriate; and running the events. For more information or to join the committee or just to help out on an event email the fundraising committee.
