Dear friend,

As we enjoy the beautiful Ottawa summer, our calendar campaign is underway. We are asking friends, local businesses, supporters, and all those who care about an important cause to consider advertising in our attractive Chabad of Centrepointe Jewish Annual Calendar & Program Guide.

To all those that have already joined in, THANK YOU!

Chabad is a non-profit Jewish organization open to people from all walks of life, regardless of background, affiliation or financial status. Chabad of Centrepointe provides an opportunity for young and old to learn, and experience Jewish tradition through classes, lectures and Jewish lifecycle events. Thousands of people are welcomed and involved annually in our variety of children’s clubs, women’s groups, Grand holiday events and Shabbat hospitality and prayer services. Chabad provides counselling, care and support for new immigrants, young families, teenagers, the elderly community and any person in need. Chabad of Centrepointe also coordinates programming on Parliament Hill for Ministers, Senators, Members of Parliament and their staff.

Our attractive calendar and program guide circulates to over 4,000 homes in Ottawa, free of charge. For businesses, this is an extremely effective promotion opportunity. Many stores, small businesses and organizations compete for the year-long exposure to the Jewish community.
Potential customers and community members view the colourful and informative calendar and program guide the whole year round, providing maximum return for your dollar.

The advertising for the calendar goes directly towards funding the important work that Chabad does in the upcoming Jewish year of 5772 (Sep 2011-Sep 2012). The funds will go towards helping young families experience Judaism for the very first time. It will enable us to continue our popular community events, prayer services and holiday celebrations. It will allow us to continue supporting and assisting those in need.

We need YOUR help to make this happen!

As our final deadline is soon approaching, we're turning to you with a sincere request to support our calendar campaign with a donation/advertisement:

• Purchase an ad, from your family or business:

May G-d in turn bless you and yours with a Shana Tova and all the very best!

Sincerely Yours,
Rabbi Chaim & Bassy Mendelsohn
