Richard A. Klein, who served as last year’s Campaign Vice- Chairman, will lead the 1989 fund raising effort. Well known and respected for his participation in local Jewish activities, he has also at tracted national attention through his involvement in the national UJA campsugn. In 1988, he was constantly on the go in his role as UJA Regional Missions Chairman, traveling to many cities throughout the southeast promoting missions to Israel. Richard spent con siderable time £uid effort as a UJA consultant working with local communities, advising on their efforts for missions to Israel. With that experience and past involvement with the CJF in mguiy different capaci ties, including being a past president, he is well prepared to tackle the challenge the 1989 Campaign presents. Said Richard Klein, “There is certainly a major challenge in this year’s campaign be cause of the growing needs of the community and our Jew ish sisters and brothers over seas. We £ill have to be mind ful of our moral obligations. “The upcoming High Holy Days are an especially appro priate time to begin our mis sion. I have no doubt that the community will respond posi tively as it always has for 50 years.” Bobbi Bernstein Richgird’s concern for his heritage is a reflection of his upbringing. His family, a stal wart of the Charlotte commu nity, has always regarded Jew ish endeavors to be of the greatest importance. Bobbi Bernstein also an nounced that Dr. Paul Putter man will serve in a dual role, that of Campaign Vice-Chair- man and General Chairman- Elect (1990). In preparation for the latter role, Putterman will work closely with Klein to gain Campaign experience. Putterman’s involvement with the community is longstand ing. He was the driving force in the establishment of a young leadership program and served as the program’s chairman. A class of leaders who benefited from Putterman’s enthusiasm and thoughtful direction is ac tively involved in leadership roles in all facets of communi ty life today. Bernstein’s final appoint ment is that of Meg Goldstein, Richard A. Klein who will serve as Women’s Di vision Campaign Chair. She served in the same capacity during last year’s campaign reaching a record-setting result. Goldstein is totaUy dedicated to the concept that an independent gift to the Women’s Division should be used by women as a vehicle to express themselves and their commitment to Jewishness and to a strong Israel. Goldstein is a partner in the law firm of Petree, Stockton and Robinson. She is married to Matthew Luftglass and both are active in the Jewish Federation. “Cheirlotte has joined an ex ceptional group of Jewish com munities in being named an honorary city by the United Jewish Appeal,” revealed Charlotte Jewish Federation Executive Director Mike Min kin.
