The Charlotte Jewish News - October 2007 - Page 3
The Jewish Federation of
Greater Charlotte is proud to
announce Eric Lemer as the
2008 Annual Campaign Chair.
When asked for a bio of him
self, Eric replies, “My bio is
quite simple; despite a college
education, I peddle t-shirts and
trinkets for a living.” However,
when asked about his life, Eric’s
belief is that he would rather be
remembered for his philanthro
py than for his business acu
men. “It is not simply a privi
lege and an opportunity but an
obligation and responsibility to
help maintain the agencies of
the Jewish community here in
Charlotte,” says Eric modestly.
“I am confident that Eric will
provide enormous help in both
inspiring and engaging the new
generation of leaders so we can
respond to urgent needs, mobi
lize our community when we
face crises, and seize the oppor
tunity to strengthen the Jewish
community and the Jewish peo
ple in Charlotte, in Israel, and
throughout the world,” said Sue
Worrel, Executive Director.
Eric embarks on his new role by
putting together a terrific and
talented Campaign Cabinet.
