The L'Shana Tova Program is to offer greetings to the entire congregation.
Through this program, Men's Club offers the congregation to offer L'Shana Tova Greetings to the entire congregation. Along with the greetings, Men's Club provides a bag of "goodies", similar to Shaloch Manot. The bag contained a round challah, a jar of honey, apple chips, a bottle of grape juice and candles, though the contents have varied over the years. These greetings are then hand delivered to the homes of every congregant. We have the membership laid out by geographic routes to ease in the delivery. This is the largest fundraiser for our Men's Club and this past year we raised over $20K.

Self Assessment
The greetings are very well received as the congregation is not only extending greetings to all, but they are also getting items that they can actually use for the holiday. Also, the fact that we deliver everything makes an impact as we - Men's Club - are going that extra mile.
It helps our community financially, as we raise funds that are used to benefit the lives of our congregants. Being that this is our largest fundraiser, we use these funds to provide extraordinary expense items that are not within the Synagogue budget.
