The Summer Fund Raiser, initiated earlier this spring with a matching gift of $10,000, has exceeded all expectations. Contributions toward this original matching gift were proceeding apace when a second matching gift of $5,000 was received. Potential income for the Center from this project now stands at $30,000. Deadline for completion of the project is July 1, 2008. Contributions may be made by mailing them to: Lutheran Counseling Center, 132 Jefferson Ave., Mineola, NY 11501

A complete report will be forthcoming in July.
