Hebrew Academy **FIy High ** Gala
By Saul Brenner
Morrocroft, the historic
English manor home of
former Governor Cameron
Morrison and the 1979
Charlotte Symphony ASID
Designer House, will be the
setting for the Hebrew
Academy’s annual May gala.
Completed in 1927, Mbr-
rocroft is well-known for its
beautiful architectural
detailing, including its hand
made Dutch brick exterior,
tile roof, imported English
mantels and paneling, and
hand-blown glass windows.

**WorkMhop on PoMMcm**
A conference, “Workshop
on Politics”, will be held in
Greensboro, N.C., on March
20-21. On the evening of the
20th, Governor Jim Hunt,
and other State-wide office
holders including members
of the Council of State, will
be present at a public recep
tion open to the entire North
Carolina Jewish Communi
ty. The next day will be
devoted to a series of
Workshops on Politics and
Israel. North Carolina
members of the United
States House of Represen
tatives and Senate will be in
vited.
This event will mark the
beginning of a bold new pro
gram by the Washington,
D.C. based American Israel
Public Affairs Committee
known as AIPAC. AIPAC,
the only registered American
Jewish Organization that
can officially lobby for
Israel, has been termed by
the New York Times, “the
most powerful, best-run and
effective foreign policy in-
terest group in
Washington.” AIPAC has
historically been a “low-
profile” group. However, the
continuing battles for
foreign aid assistance to
Israel, and the recent fight
over the AW ACS sale has
brought it into the limelight.
AIPAC leaders are now
mounting a major nation
wide drive to help increase
the public awareness of
Israel’s needs, and ’ are
organizing educational
workshops on how to effec
tively impact on decision
makers. The “Workshop on
Politics”, in Greensboro,
N.C., will be the first in the
South aimed at a statewide
audience. The Executive
Director of AIPAC, Tom
Dine, will lead the program
aided by other national and
local Jewish leaders.
Representatives from both
parties will be present. This

The house contains approx
imately 14,000 square feet
and wa^ the first home in
Charlotte to have central air-
conditioning.
How was the Hebrew
Academy able to secure such
a distinguished home for its
affair? In the November 1981
issue of the Charlotte Jewish
News an article appeared
concerning the Fly High par
ty, which reported that,
“Sue Brodsky, Peggy.Gart
ner, and the gala committee
were busy planning for the
right place to hold ‘Fly
High.’ ” Charlene Muller,
who, together with her hus
band, Richard, is the present
owner of Morrocroft, read
the piece, called Sue, and of
fered her home. The Muller’s
daughter “Sam” is a first
grader at the Academy. The
Muller’s kind offer was
eagerly accepted. “We
wanted to hold a grand party
at an exciting place. We were
overjoyed that Morrocroft,
the most dramatic home in
Charlotte, was generously
offered by the Mullers,” said
Academy President Bob Ber
nhardt.
