Dear Sharers of the Dream:
Our architects and contractors are working non
stop to get us into the new facility. All of the figures
are now in for the increased size and scope of the Pro
ject which now provides each and every feature you
asked for as listed below.
As a result of the increase, we are $1,000,000 short
of the necess£iry total, and we have begun a “new”
campaign to raise the money.
TOGETHER WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!
But... it is necessary that each one of us increase our
commitment.
Come forward! Drop me a note or give me a call
at 333-6694.1 know you will respond for the sake of
our future. I will keep you up to date with bulletins
on the program of our “Million Dolljir Drive.”

Federation Makes Great Strides
By Stan Greenspon
Complete Facilities To Be Built For Project
In deference to the Founda
tion campaign and the JCC
class schedule, the Federation
supplement will appear in the
next issue of the Charlotte
Jewish News.
I am pleased to have this op
portunity to report the pro
gress that your Charlotte
Jewish Federation has achiev
ed this past year.
When I assumed the
Presidency in November
1983, I committed myself
(with the support of my ex
ecutive conmiittee) to specific
goals and objectives. Let me
review these gosds with you
now:
• The General Campaign —
Objective for the 1984-85
Campaign was to increase
from $760,000 to $1,000,000.
Although we were not suc
cessful in reaching the dollar
total, in many ways we were
more successful. We had a
campaign increase of 20% over
the previous year; more people
made pledges than ever
before; many more volunteers
gave tirelessly of themselves;
the enthusiasm which was
generated through these ac
tivities will carry us on a
positive note to the 1985-86
Campaign.
• Federation’s role with other
local agencies — Our goal was
to become more involved with
the working boards and the
various agencies the Federa
tion helps to fund. We wanted
to “do more” than just make
financial allocations. Federa-
S. Greenspon
tion was to help in other ways.
As an outcome of this new ap-

JCC Planning Institute To Take Place Sept. 16
The Jewish Community
Center will begin its phase-in
process with a planning in
stitute developed in conjuc-
tion with the Jewish Welfare
Board. The institute will help
introduce participants to this
exciting process while pro
viding dilution to the 22 ad
ministrative, financial and pro
gram committees involved.
The recommendations that
flow from these committees
will be utilized to establish
both a program plan and
organizational structure for
the new center. The phase-in
process should culminate next
year with the development of
a program guide operational
budget, and a community*
wide membership campaign.
The institute on September
16 will begin at 9:30 a.m. and
include an address by Mitch
Jaffe of JWB focusing on the
experiences of various com
munities in North America
which have recently con
structed new center buildings.
A lay leader from either Tulsa,
Okl^oma or Palisades, New
Jersey will evaluate the overall
planning and subsequent oc
cupancy of a new ‘ J’ in their
particular community. After a
question and answer session.
Bill Gorelick will discuss the
