50th Wedding Anniversary – Virginia and Dr. Tim Shepherd
Message to sponsors
To celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary on October 24, 2024, we invite you to join us in supporting Israel during this critical time by helping to raise funds for emergency ambucycles that provide life-saving care in minutes. Each fully equipped ambucycle costs $36,000, and our goal is to raise $360,000. The Hebrew word "Chai" (חי) means “life” and has a numerical value of 18. By giving the gift of life to others, we believe we will receive a rich blessing in return— a double portion of life! L’Chaim!
