Letter Signers Needed: The Office of Mission Advancement (OMA) is looking for Sisters, who live on the Nazareth Campus, to help with a special project. OMA will create a letter to send to former donors to thank them for their donations and encourage them to continue their support. As a special touch, we would like for Sisters to sign the letters and write a brief handwritten message. Each Sister will be given approximately 10-15 letters. The message can be the same for all of the letters if you so choose.
Will you please consider giving some of your precious time for such a wonderful project? If you are interested in signing letters for this special project, please contact Stephaine Lamar at ext. 1551 or slamar@nazareth.org by Friday, July 11. Thank you in advance for your willingness to help.
