President's Message
March/April 2020
It's that time of the year when we as an organization remind our members of the giving opportunities that support our community beyond annual membership dues.
In addition to major gifts given during a donor’s lifetime, gifts may also be conveyed through trust, wills, and bequests. These gifts are used to maintain and improve our building, enhance prayer study, expand educational offerings, and provide unique programming, such as the Author Series and lectures sponsored by the Tye Scholar-in-Residence Fund. I thank Allan Kopel and Henry Kopel for establishing our newest Family Continuity Fund; Janet & Ken Kopel Continuity Family Fund in loving memory of their parents, Janet and Ken Kopel.
Most gifts are recognized with plaques on established boards or on an item that the gift was established for. The gifts offer the opportunity to memorialize the deceased and honor the living. Gifts to Temple Emanu-El are available in three different categories based on the use of the gift. These categories are Continuity/Operating Gifts, Capital Gifts, and Endowment Fund Gifts. Continuity Fund Gifts are used to supplement the annual operating budget. The following is a list of Continuity Fund Gifts that are available along with the recognition provided:
