CROP  WALK   Through our Tikkun Olam committee, we are once again participating in the annual New Paltz CROP walk to fight hunger.  Please join other faith groups in our area along with friends, family and neighbors in a fun and effective way to raise funds for local and international relief efforts. Last year, we helped raise @ $12,000 This is a wonderful way to involve your whole family in an activity that directly benefits those in need.   Date:  October 19 Time: 1:30 registration  2:00 walk begins Walk Route:  A gentle 5 mile round trip walk on the rail trail to Springtown Bridge.  Refreshments offered at the bridge.  Starts at Parking Lot 18 SUNY (corner of Route 32 and Plattekill Ave).   There will be some local musicians playing for us as part of the "kick-off." After September 10th, you may call or email Ellen Butowsky 255-3316 ellenbutowsky@hvc.rr.com to walk in the event. You will receive an envelope to gather pledges for your participation in the walk.  Children under 18 may walk (and also receive hours toward community service). They will need a parent or guardian to sign the consent form on the pledge envelope. OR b) Pledge money to support the walkers from our congregation.  Call Ellen if you would like to pledge money. No amount too small or great for this worthy cause! This is a great way for the B'nai Mitzvah and Vav class students to earn some community service hours!  We look forward to seeing you on walk day, or hearing from you if you call to pledge money. THANK YOU.
