Memorial Plaques and Other Remembrances

Seat Plaques are available for the seats in the sanctuary to remember loved ones and/or memorable events or people in your life. Similarly, leaves can be purchased for the Tree of Life in the foyer.

Donating through Electronic Gift Cards & Amazon
Gift cards can be purchased through the Treasurer. BST earns a percentage of the sale of gift cards. Every retailer offers a different percentage rebate. We keep a limited supply of Giant gift cards (4% rebate) onhand. They are $100 each. Other gift cards can be purchased upon request.
Please consider signing up to purchase gift cards electronically on your phone. No need to go through the Treasurer to purchase, pay for them, or receive them. It is all done electronically and instantly. No need to even carry around plastic cards! It will all be on your phone to use immediately, later, or send to someone as a gift. No shipping fees! Small transaction fee (less than $1 per order).
What a great way to support BST & take care of your shopping needs at the same time! Contact Ellen at treasurer@bstva.org if you have any questions.

You can find more details about these committees and their goals by clicking on the committee name. If you are willing and able to step-up, or have some questions before you commit, please contact Sid Snitkin, the VP of Finance at finance@bstva.com.
