To all the Selfless and Dedicated Casino Volunteers:
I apologize for my tardiness. The casino was over 6 months ago! But, this gives me opportunity to wish each of you a Happy New Year and I can also report the results of your volunteering. The Temple received our share of the casino proceeds, over $66,000. The way I figure it, that is just over $240 dollars per volunteer hour.
I think that all volunteers of the July casino and all previous casinos can look at our beautiful temple and take pride in knowing that their volunteer commitments were instrumental in making this possible.
I appreciate that although it is not taxing work, it is a long day and night. Please accept this as my heartfelt “Thank You” for volunteering.
