Chronicle, No 7 5769/Page 16 We are starting to assemble the 2009 Neveh Shalom Directory. This one will be unique, with photos of congregants as well as the entire directory being in color.
That means the ads will be in color also and best of all the prices are the same as last years. Placing an ad allows you to market your business to the approximately 1000 synagogue families who will use it. Not only is this a great way for you to advertise your business but you will also be supporting the Religious Schools (Sunday School, Hebrew School and High School).
To purchase an ad please complete the contract on the other side of this page and return to the Religious School ofice. You can submit your ad electronically to [email protected].
If you have any questions please call Dayle at 503-293-7312.
Thank you in advance for helping the Religious School.
