CSM Sponsors Second Phantom Banquet
Maybe you’ll be finishing up your taxes. Maybe you’ll be headed out to a posh restaurant with your spouse. Or maybe you’ll be curled up on the couch with a new novel or crunching popcorn while watching your favorite classic movie.
Whatever you’re doing on April 15, 2000, CSM hopes you’ll be with us in spirit–but not in person! That’s because April 15 is the date of our Phantom Banquet. No need to buy a new dress or rent a tux or hire a babysitter or gas up the car. Plus the entire amount of your gift will go to support the ministry.
Instead of attending a fund-raising dinner, you can plan some quality time with family or friends–and hear our Phantom Banquet speaker, Dr. James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, on tape–at your convenience. You can also hear Dr. Dobson on radio at WCTN, AM 950, or on www.WCTN.net every weekday at 6:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Join CSM for the Phantom Banquet for a contribution of $50 to $1,000. See the enclosed information for details on various sponsorship levels and premiums and prizes. Your contribution, over and above any regular pledge, will enable the ministry to move ahead in expanding the Life Management Study and developing special projects such as videotapes. Please plan to participate with us in this non-event!
