Thank you to all of our generous donors who helped make #GivingTuesday a successful part of our Annual Campaign. We had 50 donors who helped to raise over $27,000 dollars to fund temple events, services & more.

We are especially grateful for Richard & Eleanor Rusnak's matching donations all day.

If you haven't donated yet, there's still time to get involved in the Annual Campaign. Make your tax deductible donation before December 31st.
