Shelanu
Campaign Attracts Support for Varied Reasons;
Campaign Reaches New Levels
KI’s Shelanu
Campaign continues to on the move! Response from the
congregation has been very supportive as we near the $2 million
mark with pledges and testamentary gifts!
One of the
more interesting aspects of the campaign has been learning the
many ways that KI has touched the lives of our members and how
that has impacted on their decision to participate in the
Shelanu Campaign.
Here are a
few of the most compelling stories:
A long time
member tells us: “My Bar Mitzvah was at KI as were the B’nai
Mitzvot of my children and my grandchildren. My children were
married at KI. KI has been there at every significant moment in
my life so how could I not participate in this campaign? We need
to insure that KI is strong, both now and for generations to
come.”
A congregant
who has only been a member of KI for a few years relates:
“Recently we suffered the loss of a family member. The response
from the clergy and members of the KI community was amazing and
was instrumental in making those horrible days bearable. I did
not really understand the concept of community until this sad
time in our lives. I am participating in the Shelanu Campaign in
appreciation for what KI has meant to my family.”
As the
campaign continues to build the endowment for KI, we will
continue to share stories about why members of our community
have made their decisions to participate.
