Beth Torah has been given the opportunity for a major fundraiser with a Mitzvah twist! At Willow Bend mall, we will be wrapping Christmas gifts for donations-only. The Willow Bend management team will be doing all of the advertising and promoting within the mall and providing us with the space-all for free! All of the supplies have been donated too! The only thing we need is you-the best volunteers in the DFW Metroplex!
Hours of operation will be 11AM to 8PM with three, 3½ hour shifts during Black Friday weekend (November 27-29) and then December 14 through December 24. Mall staff will provide coverage during Shabbat.
NO wrapping experience necessary! We are looking for Day Captains, wrappers, schmoozers, hustlers (not really), and runners. This is a great opportunity for our Shul to support the community at large and, in return, the community will get to know us! Check out days and times and sign up online at http://cbt.news/2015-AllWrappedUp.
We look forward to joining you all for a successful and lots of "fun"draiser! If you have any questions, please email ([email protected]) or call us: Rona Kesselman 214.532.7742 / Vikki Silvis 214.724.7679.
