The Charlotte Jewish News - March 2017 - Page 18 Jewish Family Services New Year and a New View from the Board Room Table Donations to Jewish Family Services in January 2017 Jewish Family Services could n’t do what we do without our donors and volunteers; that is par ticularly true of our Board of Di rectors. The JFS Board is comprised of some of our most dedicated volunteers and lead ers. We are excited to introduce our three newest Board Members: Maggie Fogel, Brooks Jaffa, and Barbara Rein. Maggie Fogel is relatively new to Charlotte, arriving to town with her family two years ago. They in tegrated themselves into Charlotte and the Jewish community so quickly, it’s as though they have always belonged on Shalom Park. Along with her enthusiasm, Mag gie brings a depth of knowledge to JFS as a professional licensed therapist. Barbara Rein brings many years of nonprofit experience, both professionally and as a Board member. She comes with a back ground in fundraising, program management, and community out reach. Barbara is very involved in the community also serving on the Board for the Lakewood Pre- School and Union County Library Council. Barbara also brings rep resentation from Union County to the JFS Board. Brooks Jaffa is a Charlotte na tive and comes from a long line age of family involvement in the Jewish community. Brooks is an attorney with Cranford, Buckley, Schultze, Tomchin, Allen & Buie, PA. He previously clerked with District Court Judge, Frank Whit ney and currently volunteers with the North Carolina Bar Associa tion. Brooks’ father and grandfa ther have both served on the JFS Board making him a 3rd genera tion JFS Board member. Maggie, Barbara, and Brooks join JFS returning Board mem bers: Harry Sparks, President Jennifer Collman, Past President Jan Weiner, Vice President Gary Lerner, Treasurer Louis Sinkoe, Secretary Shannon Crystal, Jennifer Golynsky, Brooks Jaffa, Eric Lerner, Matt Luftglass, Allan Oxman, Sara Stinemetz, Liz Wahls, Dori Whitman Thank you to all of our Board members for their commitment to ensuring that JFS continues to meet the critical needs of our community. ^ Jewish Family Services re ceived the following donations for Tribute Cards in January 2017.
