ANNUAL NIGHT OF GIVING 
GALA
Saturday, March 10th at 6:30pm

~Donation Requests~
   
Our Annual Night of Giving Gala is less than 60 days away and the Committee is excited to let you know that this year it will be held at 3 Palms Grille located in Ponte Vedra Beach on March 10th.
 
Similar to years in the past we are looking to you, our congregants, to make the silent and live auctions a success by donating new and slightly new items such as restaurant gift cards, small electronics, Ipads, vacation homes for a weekend get a way, sports tickets,  etc.
 
This year we are asking you to take pictures of the items and send them to Betsy Siegel and the Committee will make a decision.  Betsy will get back to you with drop off specifics within  72 hours of receiving your note.  We are doing this to avoid a lot of confusion as we prepare the items and to also give thanks to those who have generously donated items.
 
Betsy's email is [email protected]
 
The donation cutoff is Friday, March 2, 2018.
 
Thank you so much as we continue to support our Beth El community together.
