A Sincere Thank You to our Legacy Teams and Generous Donors

When I first met with Cathy Gardner to discuss the LIFE & LEGACY program, I was both excited and nervous. To be honest I was terrified ~ it was a tall order. Could we really get multiple Letters of Intent? Would we even get accepted into the program?

As is the case with a lot of things in life, my worry was for naught. At the end of the 2nd Quarter of the LIFE & LEGACY program, the Jewish community in greater Dayton received 181 Letters of Intent (25% over goal). How did we do that you ask? One word ~ volunteers. Without the incredible work of our LIFE & LEGACY teams, none of this would be possible. The Legacy teams attend the trainings, team meetings and work on the marketing. Most importantly they meet with our community members to engage in a meaningful discussion about legacy and what that means.

I want to thank each and every Legacy Team member for all their hard work. Jewish Dayton, and future generations, thank you as well. And while we are thanking people, thank you to every community member who made a commitment to Jewish Dayton by signing their Letter of Intent. Without you and your generosity, this would not be possible.
