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

Harry Sparks, President
