For those of you who are planning your year-end giving, please keep in mind that in order for your gifts to be tax deductible in 2011, your donations must be received or postmarked by December 31. You can place your donation in the secure box at the receptionist’s desk or use the kiosk in the Hope Building reception area. The Hope Building will be open on New Year’s Eve from 6pm-10pm. As always, you can also give online at abbashouse.com. Just make sure your transaction is fully complete prior to midnight on Saturday, 12/31/11, for it to be counted in this tax year.
