The initial gift to the Fund was given with the avowed purpose that the resources of such a Fund “be used to bet ter educate our conmiunity so that it might become a stronger more vital Jewish community.” The purposes and uses of the Fund have not been more fully defined by the Education Fund Committee. As the Fund’s resources are employed and becoming better known to the conununity, it is anticipated that these efforts will be a catalyst for others to contribute to the Fund. In the past year, there have been grants to local Jewish educators to improve their knowledge and skills by atten ding workshops and seminars out of Charlotte. The video tape series “Witness to Holo caust” has been purchased for the J. Murray Atkins Library of UNC at Charlotte and will be used on a regular basis by faculty such as Dr. Susan Cer- nyak Spatz. The videotape will be available not only to all of the local school systems but also to any local citizen that has a UNCC library card. The Fund might be used in the future not only to en courage our Jewish educators to improve their abilities through seminars and studies but Jewish educators, writers and speakers can be invited to our community. In the past, opportunities to bring noted Jewish spokesmen to the com munity have failed because of the lack of funds and the uncertainty of recouping the investment necessary to at tract well-known and well regarded personalities. It is not intended that such programs would compete with any existing programs but rather that they supplement the existing programs. Signifi cant benefits to the entire community could be derived if such programs were suc cessful in making our Jewish residents become more cogni zant of their Jewish heritage and hopefully more involved in the institutions to which they belong. Those with no affilia tion may desire to affiliate but if they choose not to affiliate with the sponsoring orgemiza- tion such programming offers another opportunity to reach out to those unaffiliated in our community. Leadership training can be enhanced with name per sonalities if this is what is re quired to make a leadership training program more suc cessful. A successful leader ship program would be weU worth the investment to this community. It is certainly anticipated that the success and visibility of the Fund in future pro grams will attract additional support that will be added to the initial contributions. If you are interested in ser ving on the committee and helping to frame some of the programs, we would appreci ate hearing from you. Please call the Federation and in dicate your interest.
