Temple Solel Endowment: An Invitation to Learn and Pledge

Temple Solel launched an endowment effort in 2009 that resulted in over $1.2 million in endowment funds and led to the successful retirement of Solel’s mortgage debt. The Board of the Temple Solel Endowment Foundation is building on that success and has set another short-term goal of reaching $1.8 million (Chai) by the end of the year. Continued success in raising endowment funds ensures long-term financial stability of Temple Solel for generations to come.

We want to invite you to learn more about this process and to learn about the many options for planned giving including gifts of cash, bequests in wills, gifts of life insurance or securities, donations of retirement plan assets, and more. We are offering two different dates in November so that you can select the date that is most convenient for you:

Sunday, Nov. 11th at 4:30pm at the home of Dick and Fran Lamden
OR
Wednesday, Nov, 14th at 5:30pm at the home of Dr. Mitzi Krockover
and Dr. Jacque Sokolov 

We sincerely hope that you will attend one of these two dates. RSVP to Peter Pishko, Temple Solel Executive Director, at 480.991.7414 or [email protected] and please specify which event you will be attending. After receiving your RSVP, we will provide you with the address of the event.
