Mayor Foxx Joins the
Celebration of New Book of
Life Society Members
By Phil Warshauer, Executive
Director, Foundation for the
Charlotte Jewish Community
It was my great privilege and
honor to join Charlotte Mayor
Anthony Foxx on Sunday, April
25 as we welcomed our 15 newest
members into the Book of Life
Society and thanked them for cre
ating their own legacies. The cele
bration was hosted by the
Foundation for the Charlotte
Jewish Community and was
attended by more than 80 invited
guests, including 36 current Book
of Life members. Margi Goldstein
and Jill Newman served as the cel
ebration’s co-chairs.
“The legacy of Jewish culture
will forever be preserved within
the pages of the Book of Life,”
said Mayor Foxx. “The stories
captured in this book and the inter
active display will serve as a
source of inspiration for citizens
throughout Charlotte to demon
strate their commitment to our
community through similar deeds
and acts of volunteerism or
through charitable donations to
local causes in order to create
legacies of their own.
“I was touched by the stories
that were shared with me in prepa
ration for joining you at tonight’s
event. I learned about many whose
names prominently grace the
buildings and landmarks through
out our city. I also learned about
other Jewish families whose
names may not be as easily recog
nizable, but whose
generosity and com
mitment to their faith
have helped to make
our community what it
is today.”
The Book of Life
Society was estab
lished to recognize
those who established
permanent endow
ments or planned or
deferred gifts to sup
port any of our
Charlotte Jewish institutions. No
minimum amount must be given
or promised; the only requirement
is a financial commitment to sup
port the future of our Jewish com
munity. Each member is invited to
include their personal story of phi
lanthropy in an interactive Book
of Life display, located on Main
Street in Shalom Park’s main
facility.
Sixty-one individuals and fami
lies are now Book of Life mem
bers. Their total commitments cre
ate a future pipeline in excess of
$11.5 million that will support the
future of our Jewish community.
During the celebration, we
thanked them for their financial
commitments and for inspiring
others to follow in their footsteps.
Each of their Book of Life stories
help us to understand who they are
and paint a clear picture of how
important our community and
Judaism is to each one of them.
If you haven’t had the opportu
nity to read any of these stories I
encourage you to visit the Book of
Life display. We also invite you to
add your own story to the Book of
Life and create a legacy of your
own. ^

Life please contact Phil
