Development Update

With the exciting news about our acquisition of land in Owings Mills, the folks in the Development and Marketing arena have been focused on getting out into the community. We are checking the pulse and making sure that everyone is aware of our great news. To than end, some of us attended The Jewish Health, Wealth & Lifestyle EXPO on Sunday at the Pikesville Hilton. We joined some 60 other organizations and businesses. It was truly a delight to have so many people stop by to admire our architectural drawings and wish us a heart mazal tov. The vibes are good!

Next on the engagement calendar is representation at the BLEWS Annual Dinner meeting on December 8 where Senator Ben Cardin will be presented the BLEWS Public Service Award. Senator Cardin has been an important and committed friend of our school. What a great way to usher in the holiday season.

Speaking of which, how about honoring those on your gift list with a contribution to one of our many scholarship funds? Such gifts are long lasting and directly impact the lives of our students. Consider one of the following as you ponder the options for holiday giving:

Ann Zaiman Judaic Fund – The Ann Zaiman Judaic Fund was established by Rabbi and Mrs. Joel Zaiman to be used to subsidize enrichment opportunities supporting The Cardin School’s Judaic Studies program. Rabbi Stuart Seltzer, Dean of Judaic Studies at the Cardin School, has sole discretionary control to approve disbursements from this fund.

Rabbi Seymour L. Essrog Scholarship Fund - The Rabbi Seymour L. Essrog Scholarship Fund was established by the children and grandchildren of Rabbi Seymour L. Essrog z”l to provide financial assistance to eligible students.

The Jay A. Meyers Memorial Fund - The Jay A. Meyers Memorial Fund was established by the Meyers family in memory of Jay A. Meyers z”l, father of Jeremy Meyers ‘08, to provide scholarship assistance to students in financial need.

Friends of Shoshana S. Cardin Scholarship Fund - The Friends of Shoshana S. Cardin Scholarship Fund was established to provide scholarships to deserving students.

The Jacob Sokoloff Scholarship Fund – The Jacob Sokoloff Scholarship Fund was established by Ethel Blumenfeld, the sister of Jacob Sokoloff z”l, to memorialize his commitment to Jewish education and to provide scholarship assistance to eligible students.

The Library Fund - The Library Fund was established to purchase books, technology, and other materials for The Shoshana S. Cardin School library.
