Sisterhood Purim Card Project

It is that time of year again…Purim is just around the corner!

Thank you to all who participated in and donated to last year’s Mishloach Manot program!

This year we are offering you our Purim Card program. Purim Cards can be sent to friends and family anywhere within the Continental USA, at a cost of $4 per card.

Once again, we have set up an online order form that you can fill out and submit without the hassle of having to mail it in. For your convenience, the names found on this form are of schul and sisterhood members, and affiliates in the Malden area, and there is space at the end of the form to fill in new names and addresses for other cards within the USA. If you placed Purim orders with us last year, we will contact you shortly with the information from your order to offer you ease of reordering this year.

If you prefer to mail in an order form, please feel free to print off the order form and return it with a check made payable to “Congregation Beth Israel Sisterhood”.

Please submit your list promptly by February 24th so that we will have ample time to prepare your cards for you and ensure that your friends and family receive them in time for Purim.

Please help us spread the word by passing this information on to others who may be interested in sending Purim cards to friends and family.

If you have any questions, or if you would like to help with this project, please feel free to contact Leah Garland either by phone (781-397-8357) or e-mail.

Thank you in advance for your participation. We look forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday!
