Be a Volunteer at Shalom Park
By Scott Snyder
Program Director
Evelyn Berger,Coordinator
Volunteer Program
As many of you know, Shalom
Park has become an extremely
busy complex. Seven days a
week, 95 hours every week, the
Park is used for many purposes.
Did you know there are approx
imately 20,000 uses each
month? With that many uses,
there are undoubtedly rough
edges that.need smoothing out
in order for the partners of
Shalom Park to run efficiently
and effectively. One way this
can be accomplished is with an
invaluable commodity called
volunteers.
Volunteerism has been a vital
part in our community for many
years. At Shalom Park, we offer
the kinds of volunteer oppor
tunities that are unusual and ex
citing. Whatever your past
experiences or expertise might
be, Shalom Park has what you
are looking for. Our age groups
and programs at the Park range
from infants to older adults.
Our volunteer program at
Shalom Park identifies, trains
and matches volunteers with the
many tasks that are needed in
order to help all of the organiza
tions of the Park. Volunteering
provides an extra dimension of
service to each organization. In
the tremendous age group we
cover you will find areas not on
ly in secretarial or clerical
assistance, but opportunities to
work with youngsters, driving
for older adult programs, work
ing in our library, etc.
This program is extremely
valuable to the partners of
Shalom Park, but more impor
tantly, our volunteer program
will help train and provide
meaninghil work for those in
dividuals who wish to volunteer
and upgrade their vocational
skills. If you enjoy being part of
a people environment and/or
want to make better use of your
free time, give us a call.
Volunteering at Shsilom Park
can and will be very satisfying.
For more information, please
call Evelyn or Scott, 366-5007.

Art on Display
At Shalom Park
Two recent acquisitions of
artwork have been hung in the
Jewish Community Center by
the Visual Arts Committee of
the Foundation.^
“Going to Services,” a
lithograph by Felix Fabian,
was a gift of Allan Berger in
memory of his wife, Charlotte,
and may be seen in the Chai
Lounge. The piece is from a
portfolio of drawings on Jew
ish themes done in a spon
taneous pen technique.
A lyrical ink drawing of a
woman by Rita Gambinski,
now hanging in the Adult
Lounge, was given by Rose
and Abe Luski in honor of the
50th wedding anniversary of
Dr s. Irene and Albert Kos-
sove.
An exhibition and sale of
artwork by Florence Jaffa and
Hermann Kosak, which opened
Dec. 1, will remain in the
Speizman Galleries through
Jan. 15. A reception for the ar
tists will be held from 2-4 p.m.
on Dec. 4.
Sponsored by the Visual
Arts Committee of the Foun
dation and the Jewish Com
munity Center, this show is
part of the continuing series
“Shows of Local Artists.”

Shulimson Children Library Fund
By Amalia Warshenbrot
It was not until my first
week working at the Morris
and Sylvia Speizmsm Jewish
Library, that the Becky
Shulimson Memorial Children
Library Fund got my atten
tion. One of the library
volunteers told me that she
chose to help at the library
because she had been a close
friend of Becky.
number of requests far ex
ceeded the number of books
available. It was very evident
that more children’s holiday
books are needed. Next year
we will have them thanks to
the thoughtful contributions
of the members of HaLailah
BBW. If anyone would like to
purchase a book (give a cash
donation) a special book plate
will be placed in these books
for the children’s section.
This book hos been purchased
from thoughtful coritributions to the
Becky Shulimson
Memorial Childrens Libror/ Fund
A project of HoLclloh Chopfer
D'nol D'rith Women
When Penny Eisenberg,
president of HaLaileih Chapter
of B’nai B’rith Women, told
me that this year the members
had collected almost $700 for
this ongoing project, school
was into its second week and
Rosh Hashanah was just
around the corner.
There was a tremendous de
mand for high holiday books
by teachers, children from the
preschool, students of Temple
Beth El V’Shalom and Temple
Israel’s religious schools. The
Now all the classes in the
religious schools of the
Temples, nursery school and
Lubavitch school visit the
libreiry for an age appropriate
program and the children are
encouraged to ch n:k out books.
Due to the small number of
books we can not schedule
visits of more than one class of
an age group a week. Our library
will grow and children’s know
ledge will grow through your
contributions to the Becky
Shulimson Memorial Children’s
Library Fund. For more infor
mation contact me at 366-5007.
