Development Committee
Our primary goal is to raise money for the Annual Fund through mailings, personal solicitations, and more. We also try to work with other committees to create greater appreciation for our synagogue within the community and, in doing so, attract new members, initiate new programs and, consequently, raise yet more for the Synagogue. The more “development” we engage in, the more the synagogue benefits.
