Dear Chevre.
Thank you so much for your support of Beth El during this past year. With your help, Beth El has remained a vibrant institution that provides a spiritual home, social support, and cultural vitality to our diverse community. We have an ambitious menu of ritual, educational, social, and cultural activities in store for the coming year, and I write to you at this time to request your renewed support. Please make sure to check out our website and other materials for our upcoming events.
At this year’s Annual Meeting, the congregation adopted a budget that set standard dues at $1990 for households with two adults and $1335 for households with one adult. We rely on the commitment of members, including you, to keep Beth El flourishing.
As you may know, many members of Beth El help sustain the work of the congregation by pledging more than standard dues. As you indicate your dues level on the enclosed form, please consider joining them by increasing your dues by as much as you can afford. Such generosity not only provides greater financial security for day-to-day operations but allows the community to be enriched by new initiatives. Your generosity also ensures we can fulfill Beth El’s commitment to offering membership regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Please remember that Beth El’s policy is to never let financial resources prevent someone from being a fully participating member of the community. If you need to discuss reduced dues or tuition please contact our Executive Director, Casey Baker at 919-682-1238 or casey@betheldurham.org , or our Financial Secretary Roy Schonberg at 919-942-8243 or roys@nc.rr.com for a confidential and dignified conversation.
