Annual Appeal

Posted on January 4, 2012

Please join me in making a generous gift to KI – a gift that will help us improve upon our amazing year that has included

  • a record number of children on the bima every Shabbat;
  • more than 100 members participating in newly created adult learning opportunities;
  • a thriving Friday night KICKS chevra;
  • a revitialized religious school; and
  • glowing feedback from this fall’s High Holy Day service innovations.

Join me in a gift that is meaningful to you, that demonstrates the depth of your commitment to our future as a family of prayer, study and mitzvot. We deeply appreciate your past support which has made a tremendous impact on our communal life at KI.

Each year, as the KI family takes another step on the path of renewal, certain realities become clearer. KI is only as relevant as we make it. We must respond to the growing needs of KI and adapt to the changes imposed by the world we live in. KI’s relevancy is our responsibility. That was never more apparent than last year’s response to the Donor Match Challenge that allowed us to balance our operating budget. However, our expenses remain at high levels and an increasing percentage of our members are receiving a reduced dues rate. Since membership dues only cover 27% of the cost of running KI, our dependence on the Annual Appeal to sustain KI’s financial well-being is even greater. We seek your generous donation to keep our doors open wide so we may continue to welcome all who turn to us.

In these evermore challenging times, we ask that you sincerely consider increasing your donation. Your leadership gift will allow us to provide everything that makes KI a relevant and powerful kehillah.  Without your direct and active participation KI will face a significant financial challenge beyond our recent budget deficits. We must rededicate ourselves with open hearts, willing hands and conscious minds.

Please renew your commitment to KI’s future. The impact is greater when we respond quickly and as generously as possible. You can mail your check directly to KI, or click here to make your donation securely on line.

Thank you for being a part of our future.

Warmest regards,

P.S. The gift you send today enhances our ability as a congregation to serve the Jewish community that depends on a vital, relevant KI.  Please be as generous as your circumstances permit.
