As fundraising is always challenging, we looked for a new and easy way to fund raise. During the Fall, 2019, in mid November, we discussed the possibility of trying a Giving Tuesday fundraising event. We felt we had nothing to lose, and something to gain. We decided to forge ahead. Jus before Thanksgiving we announced that the CBS Men's Club was participating in Giving Tuesday, and that we were asking for donations to the club in any amount to support our eclectic programming, and also to ensure that no one would ever be turned away from any of paid programming because of financial challenges. An e-mail was sent out to the entire congregation, not just Men's Club members. Another reminder was sent on the Monday before Giving Tuesday reminding recipients of our Giving Tuesday fundraiser. At the end of that week, we sent a third and final e-mail -after Giving Tuesday, letting recipients know, if they have made a donation, and still wanted to, it was not too late.
