Permit No. 1208 The Charlotte 'TEWISH ‘TJEWS Vol. 5 No. 8 Chariotto, North Carolina Saptambar, 1983 Building Is Destroyed — But JCC Activities Continue Fire flutters stiU battling smoke after total destruction by fire. For more photos see page 15. Photo/Uoyd Scher have called to offer their time, money, and facilities. The Temples have opened (Continued on Page 15) Like so many others I made several trips to the JCC site on Sharon-Amity Road to gaze upon the destruction and to try to make some sense out of the tragedy. One of the fire of ficials commented that he had never seen so many peo ple deeply saddened by the loss of a building. I tried to explain that the Center was more than a building — it was a place where friends gathered, where our children grew up, where «we learned together and played together. If nothing else, the loss of the building made clear how important the JCC has become to the Jewish community of Charlotte. The fire should energize our ef forts in support of the Foun dation’s project. We must do everything possible to pro mote the construction of a new Center. As President I want to thank everyone for their generous offers of assistance. Both members and non-members of the JCC Special BuUetlfi Due to the loss of our mailing lists in the fire, we have extra copies of this issue available at the following locations: • Temple Beth El • Temple Beth Shalom • Temple Israel • Hebrew Academy • First Union - Cotswold • NCNB - Cotswold & Providence Sq • First Citizens ■ Southpark • Southern National - Carmel Commons S/C.

Project Plans Made Public Phott^graph taken of model of Ae new Foumdatlon building — front view. Photo courtesy of Dellinger & Lee, architects. On August 17, more than 100 workers were present at the first public presentation of the models and plans Iot phase I of the Project (see center fold). ‘*1 am extremely pleased at the reactions/' said BiU Gorelick, Chairman of the Building Committee. ‘‘Everyone present felt the architects had listened to the recommendations made by the more than twenty- five conmiittees who had reviewed their original plans. There was agreement that they had not only listened but had really responded by redesigning a good portion of the facilities.'’ An air of excitement prevailed as architects Don Lee and Rob Jolly took those present on a step by step tour through the pro posed facilities. At the con clusion of the presentation there was an enthusiastic commitment made by everyone to the next step in the process. That step will be the detailed examination room by room of each of the facilities with regard to such things as floor sur faces, window and door treatments, storage space, partitions, etc. This phase of the work should take 60-90 days and the project should be ready for bidding in early November. This would place groundbreaking at the start of the new year. The detailed models and schematics are being ar ranged as displays in the Temples during the high holidays. “This Project is the pro duct of everyone’s efforts,” said Gorelick, “and we want everyone to share in its en thusiastic progress.” Charlotte Hosts UJA Regional Convention More than 100 leaders from all parts of the Southeast, spent August 7 and 8 in Charlotte attending the first regional United Jewish Ap peal Conference ever to be held in our city.

Workshops and speakers dealt with the needs to be met by this upcoming cam paign with a special em phasis on Project Renewal (See the article by Simon Estroff in this issue of the CJN).
