Update
At the annual meeting of the Mental Health Association of
Mecklenburg County, TO LIFE was named the 1984 “Organiza
tion of the Yesu*.” Bill Walker, WSOC-TV, in introducing TO
LIFE, talked about its growth from an organization helping
people deal with death to a commitment to education about edl
forms of grief and loss and life enhancement.
“Learning to Love Yourself: The Magic of Self-Esteem” was
SRO. More than 325 people attended Dr. Dov Elkins’ evening
lecture and the day-long program attracted another 125 people.
TO LIFE is one of the many organizations which receives funding
from The Charlotte Jewish Federation.

Jewish Social Services is the
screening agency for interest-
free loans for college students
from the Jewish Children’s
Service in Atlanta. Through
the efforts of Joel Goldman,
publicity about such loans will
be forthcoming. There is an
application process that in
volves both the student and
his/her parents. The loan is
interest-free and is payable
within five years after the stu
dent completes his education.
Individuals and families are
seen at Jewsh Socied Services
for a variety of reasons — be
they issues relating to aging,
vocational needs, financial re
quests, depression, marital
conflict, adjustment to
divorce, or problems with
children, to name a few. And
for many people the winter
months afcer the business of
holiday time, are particularly
difficult ones. Certainly, the
remaining indoors can create a
time of more loneliness and
family conflicts. Jewish Social
Services is here when any in

or when people are unsure
where to ask for help in the
community.
