s the Fund Raising VP, I am charged with raising funds for the shul. I am often asking for money. This month I am asking for your time. If you have some time, any time, CBI could use your talents. In an economic climate where it is harder for people to pull out their checkbook and make a donation of money, consider a donation of time!! Even if you feel you have no money or time to give, you can help CBI by online shopping, shopping at GFS with a Fun Funds card and participating in the CBI scrip program!!!!! Pick one or 2 retailers that you frequent and purchase a scrip card(s). Next time you shop or dine or fill up your car there, it will feel good since you will have already paid and raised money for CBI. Learning about Scrip seems complicated at first but it is easy once you get the hang of it. Please contact either myself or JayKauffman (jay@jekcpa.com) and we would be glad to help you place your first order. Laurie Reiskind Third Vice President, Fundraising
