Let's Plan to Celebrate!
In June, 2016, Temple Sinai will have much to celebrate--a Golden Jubilee Anniversary--50 years as a Reform Temple in the state of Vermont!  A weekend-long celebration will take place June 24th, 25th, and 26th!  We would love to have you contribute the planning of this celebration.   Please come to our 1st of many planning meetings this Friday, June 26, at 4:45 pm.
Need a Display Case?
We are doing some late Spring cleaning, and have a glass display case for which we no longer have a use.  If you would be interested, the case can be your for the low, low price of removing it from the Temple.

Shop With Scrip at Your Favorite Merchants
What is Scrip?

Scrip is a way to fundraise for Temple Sinai while you shop. Instead of using your credit card to pay for groceries, gas, clothing, restaurants, pharmacy and household items, you simply use gift cards purchased through Scrip, and the retailers donate a percentage of the sale to Temple. Check out the ShopWithScrip.com website to see all the participating retailers.


What retailers actually donate a significant percentage of the sale to Temple?

Many of the retailers donate between 2 and 7% , but some are "high rollers" and donate as much as 25% of the sale (Fannie May Chocolates!). You can check out these "high rollers" by going to the ShopWithScrip.com website, click on "shop" in the upper right corner, then click on "rebate %" on the left hand side, and finally click on ">9%" also on the left hand side.  Some of the "High Rollers" in our area include:

  • LL Bean and Lands End 16%
  • Gap, Athleta, Old Navy, and Banana Republic 14%
  • J Crew, Talbots, and Bath and Body Works  13%
  • Uno Chicago Grill 12%
  • Under Armour and Chili's Bar and Grille 11%
  • Macy's, Eddie Bauer, and Chipotle 10%
  • Olive Garden and Panera Bread 9%

Gift Cards Are a Great Idea for Mother's Day, Birthdays, Benai Mitzvot, and Graduation!

Signing up for Scrip is easy, and then you can get a lot of the gift cards electronically. But if you don't want to sign up, or you want the actual plastic gift cards, just let me know what you would like to order. Thanks so much for your interest!


To order, email Barbara Burroughs or give her a call at 802-985-9329.  

Only a 15 cent service fee to you, and Temple makes anywhere from 2% - 19% on your purchase. Easiest fundraiser ever (next to Hannaford). Do your part--sign up for Scrip today!
