Thinking About Gifts and Miracles

Miracles, celebration, triumph -- they are all a part of the Hanukkah tradition. This year as we celebrate the Hanukkah season, let's remember the true spirit of the holiday. Hanukkah begins at sundown on Friday, December 11 and my guess is that while we are thinking about tradition, miracles, parties, and latkes, many of us are pondering gifts- for our children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors. Please don't forget your gift to Cardin!

Gifts to the Annual Fund Drive at The Shoshana S. Cardin School are used during the year in which they are received, and support the operating budget. They help make up the difference between tuition and the actual cost of a Cardin education. Our goal this year, $125,000, is lofty. We are convinced that with the growing enthusiasm surrounding the coming new Owings Mills campus and the clear understanding that our daily needs continue to be greater than the funds we collect from parents annually, we will meet that objective. One hundred percent participation will go far in our efforts to secure grants and support from charitable institutions. These funds allow us to continue programing such as the annual theatrical performance, our unique minyanim and lecture series and Interim Week.

Remember that your unrestricted gift goes immediately and directly to support the Cardin experience. Is there a better gift than that of a superior Jewish and secular education? Wouldn't it be grand to celebrate our own Cardin miracle with 100% participation?

Have a joyous holiday!
