Dear Marcia,

I want to thank you for your hospitality, caring and determination in bringing Jewish singles together. Your encouragement throughout my long stretches of "singlehood" gave me hope. When I had really all but given up on meeting anyone, I met a very special man at your Shabbat dinner who is now the love of my life. We are getting married at thanksgiving and very happy together.

With my deepest appreciation,

Julie Konigsberg

Dear Marcia,

Never in a million years did we think a dating service could bring us love. But you.ve done it, and were proof to the non-believers. Thank you for taking care of us, supporting us and challenging us to fall in love. You.re right, every pot does have a cover; and it seems there is somebody out there for everyone.

Thanks from a matched set,

Brenda Cohen



To whom it may concern:

My mother sent me an article from the Jewish Review about Marshugana's of Portland. Embarrassed that my own mother wanted me to join a dating service, I shoved it into the back of my desk drawer. I stumbled upon the article a few months later and hung it on my refrigerator. It hung there for six months before I gathered my courage to call. To my surprise, matchmaker Marcia Belmont assuaged my fears during our first visit. Her professional yet warm manner put me at ease. Through Marshugana's, I have met someone who has become a very important part of my life. She is intelligent and kind everything I.ve been looking for in a companion. I have high hopes for this relationship. Marcia's service is unique, and I highly recommend it. She is dedicated to the Jewish community and her good counsel is evidence of that.

Sincerely,

Mark Novak



Dear Marcia:

I cannot tell you enough how pleased I am with the attention and care you have shown me. I called upon you when I thought I had exhausted all of my hopes of finding my bashert. Your guidance and support through the interview and dating process have been a welcome comfort. Through Marshugana's, I have met many interesting and charming people. These new friendships have restored my faith in love, and I now have confidence that my soul mate is out there. And I know you will help me find him.

All the best,

Amy Levin



To whom it may concern:

To whom it may concern: Until I joined Marshugana's, I was convinced I would never find the one. I went to synagogue, participated in singles outings, joined a gym and even let my aunt set me up. While I met some very interesting people and started some new friendships, I wasn.t connecting with anyone in the way that Id hope to connect with a life-partner. Marshugana's has made meeting amazing people possible for me, and I.m pleased to say I.ve met a wonderful man who understands and respects me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Sincerely,

Leslie Weinstein



To whom it may concern:

Marshugana's service is a highly professional yet personal way to meet new people in the Jewish community. Through her interactive web site, matchmaker Marcia Belmont strives to bring together interesting and caring Jewish singles into friendships and long-term relationships. Her sincere interest and individual attention to my situation set her far ahead of all the other dating services out there. Although I have not yet met my bashert, I have met many intellectual and compassionate people. I am very pleased with the service I have received and look forward to more good times ahead.
