Rosh Hashanah.
This wonderful fundraiser:

How does it work?
Your membership list is uploaded to a secure dedicated website where you can set
the cost per greeting. Your members
logon to HappyRoshHashanah.com using a unique password, click on the names of the
people they would like to send Shana Tovah
greetings to, and pay.
You then logon to your administrative website where you can monitor your fundraiser
in real-time, place paper orders for those members without internet access, and
print greeting letters to send to your members.
Often these letters are sent with a jar of honey, gift basket, or flowers.
Typically, organizations charge $1-$5 for each name selected, and will often have
multiple members sending to the same person—greatly increasing funds raised.
Automatic Reciprocal Greetings feature available upon request.
