Georgia triplets raise $1,700 for ACC
Meet triplets Lindsey, Casey and Sydney Gordon, repeat St. John visitors from Alpharetta, Ga., who just raised $1,100 in cash and $600 worth of donated items for the St. John Animal Care Center.
The sisters, who will turn 13 in September, will be bringing their haul down to the ACC this week.
“The girls needed a Bat Mitzvah project, and since my husband and I have been coming to St. John for a very long time and the girls have been coming with us for the last six years, they chose the animal shelter as their project,” says mom Laura.
The sisters all volunteered at the shelter during their trip last year, walking dogs and playing with the cats, and told friends and family how special St. John is to them and how important it was for them to help out the shelter.
Besides the cash, $50 of which came from each girl, friends supplied them with dog toys, treats and other things the shelter needs.
The airline should waive their baggage fees!

Lindsey, Casey and Sydney….you should be so proud! I wish I could be at the synagogue and hear you read your Haftorah. Please remember to let the congregation know all about your beautiful mitzvot. Maybe some of your friends will decide to do the same. Enjoy your time here in STJ.

Thank you so much girls!!! Your parents have done a great job. I wasn’t nearly as selfless at your age. Sadie says thanks for the bone, and Paublo says thanks for the rope-ball! See you Thursday at 10.
