The Constant in Our Lives
By Bunny Bramson,
President, Charlotte
Chapter of Hadassah
It’s a new year - a
bright, clear view and
for many, a time for a
long list of new and
improved resolutions to
keep. There is a tradi
tion of fresh beginning
with every new year.
For us, it marks an opportunity to
review how far we have come in
our Hadassah year and a
chance to look ahead as
we engage our members
and community in the
events and programs for
the coming months.
Usually the new year
brings a clean slate, but
for Hadassah members,
January also brings the
opportunity to celebrate those
things that that are a constant in
our lives:
* The thrill of helping to build a
world class hospital.
* The warmth of knowing that
our Hadassah friendships will last
a lifetime.
* The joy of seeing young peo
ple connect to Jewish life.
* The pleasure of providing a
child with a secure home.
* The sweetness of knowing
that we have helped save a life.
* The excitement of investing
in Israel’s future entrepreneurs.
* The knowledge that we are
Bunny Bramson
SAH
helping the greening
of Israel and our
world.
* The glow and
warmth that comes
with improving and
changing peoples’
lives.
Today, the world is
moving at the speed
of light. Everything
is being touched by this accelerat
ed pace of change. No industry, no
profession, no organiza
tion can escape the long
reach of the global eco
nomic impact.
We in Hadassah have
weathered nearly 97
years and with each new
generation, our will and
our determination have
never faltered. Hadassah
has built a remarkable organiza
tion from our early beginnings in
1912. Through all the years,
strong and courageous women
have volunteered their time, talent
and resources to enhance the qual
ity of Jewish and communal life in
Israel and in the United States.
Today, we continue to grow and
prosper, reaching out in new and
creative ways to women and fami
lies, even as our core values hold
trae and firm.
Although a new year always
brings change, we are grateful that
some things remain constant in
our lives. ^
ISN'T IT TIME FOR A CONVERSATION
ABOUT YOUR ESTATE?
Without an estate plan in place, federal and state law^s dictate property,
personal items and assets are divided. Family conflicts and legal problems
may result. Talk to Scott for expert guidance in estate analysis and a network
