Items Needed for the Purim Carnival Auction!

Attention all MSJE members!  We need your help.  We are looking for donations for our Purim Carnival auctions.  In the past, we have gotten donations of movie tickets, coupons for pizza, subs, coffee, certificates to nail salons etc.  We will also be doing a silent auction for larger items such as hotel stays etc.  So if you have items from your own business, or frequent local businesses that would be willing to donate something – please let us know!!  We’ve attached a letter to use if you are getting donations from local businesses.  Contact April Strumpf at acstrumpf@comcast.net with your donations or if you need more info.   

Dear Neighbor:

                The Maryland School for Jewish Education (MSJE) is holding its annual Purim Carnival and auction on Sunday, March 1,  2009, for the students and their families.  This event helps raise funds for the school as well to help support its mission.  We are seeking donated items for our auction at the Purim carnival. These can be gift cards, restaurants gift certificates, movie certificates, sporting event tickets, t-shirts, sporting goods, and certificates of goods or services to be used at your business.  A donation from your business will make our auction a success and is a great way to advertise to our members hip.

                MSJE is a private organization whose principal purpose is to provide a Jewish education for the children of its members.  As a Jewish educational institution, the MSJE is primarily devoted to teaching the students about the essentials of being Jewish and instill in them a sense of pride. The students are taught about their Jewish heritage, customs, and traditions.

                Please consider a donation to our auction and partner with us on this fun event for the families of our school.  Please feel free to contact me directly at 301-924-2428  with any questions or if you would like to make a donation of goods or services. Our tax Id is available upon request.

Sincerely,

April Strumpf
