Assist-A-Camper Appeal

Dear Parents and Friends,
Netzer is a non-profit community organisation.

We feel that every child should have the experience of being in a youth movement. It is our goal not to turn away channichim (participants) for financial reasons. However, an increasing number of families are experiencing economic difficulty as the cost of living rises, meaning that the number of requests for financial aid grows every year.

We are grateful for the part that the continued and generous financial contributions that parents, the Progressive congregations and the entire community have played in enabling us to grow in koach (strength).

Each year we are in danger of not being able to maintain our policy of supporting those in financial need. We thus ask you to please assist us in ensuring that every potential channich/a (participant) has the opportunity to join us for our vibrant and inspiring Machaneh Lazuz, by pledging an amount to our Assist-a-Camper appeal. This can be found under the financial section. We greatly appreciate all contributions, no matter how small.

Thanking you in anticipation of your continued support,

Hanhallah of Machaneh Lazuz 2012
