Friends,
 
I was reminded recently of ongoing scams that target generous people like yourselves. They use my name, but not my email address to ask for money in the form of gift cards or what-have-you.
 
Though I may at some point ask for donations, I will NOT ask you to send me gift cards of any variety. I have a discretionary fund that I can use to help individuals or non-profits in our community. Please be careful, and if you have any suspicions, just reach out to me – it’s no trouble at all.
 
I hope you are all weathering the summer well and enjoying this brief respite from the heat.
 
God Bless!
 
Rabbi Roger Lerner
The Ballpark BBQ Party on Saturday, August 8 @ 5:30 pm marks the launch of the CBS Programming Committee’s new Second Saturday series, featuring a different activity  each month.

In months with a fifth Sunday, CBS provides a full dinner to fellow Columbians in need through the Loaves & Fishes program. We are serving Sunday, August 30th, and we need donations of food items as well as volunteers to set up, serve, and clean up.
 
NOTE new directions: Bring food to the new Loaves and Fishes kitchen at VAC Opportunity Campus (The Hub), 1304 Bowling St. This is the same side street as the old location, but located right at the intersection of Bowling St and the Business Loop. Turn right immediately to enter the parking lot and then go left around the building to the third entrance (kitchen door, not dining room door).

The kitchen door unlocks automatically at 3:30 for food deliveries and setup/serving volunteers. Clean-up crew should arrive by 5:15 pm.
 
We expect to serve about 160 meals, and the need for volunteers to serve is especially critical.
 
Click here for the sign-up list. And thanks!
 
With questions, please contact Noah at heringmann@missouri.edu or Brent at brentdeelg@gmail.com

School Supply Drive
 
The CBS Tikkun Olam committee is collecting school supplies for kids in need and will distribute them through True North and the Voluntary Action Center.

Tap here to see school supply lists by grade on the CPS web site and here to donate directly to the VAC Back to School program.
