Federation Makes Great Strides
JCC S'wriiii & Tennis Teams Honored
proach, quite a few of our own
board members took active
roles in the JCC, the Hebrew
Academy, the Blumenthal
Home, etc. As a result, a
cohesiveness and a bond has
developed and we think this
will have lasting positive af
fects for the general
community.
• Board Involvement — I am
proud to inform you that not
only do we have a large board,
but a very active involved
board. The majority of Federa
tion Board Members are com
mitted, enthusiastic and give
of themselves. One of my
primary goals has been to
maintain a highly spirited ac
tivity level among our board
members. It has happened and
the fruits of their labor are
already being felt throughout.
• Leadership Development —
One of my primary concerns
has been the need for leader
ship development and training
not only within our own
Federation organization but
throughout the Jewish com
munity. There has not been a
continuous organized presence
to foster leadership for our
various organizations. We
have now put into motion a
lanar? f
tiAtPy
NE>V
yCAR
strong, active committee
which is developing a leader
ship training program for the
entire community. Whatever
organization you belong to will
probably benefit from this
volunteer effort.
• Improved relations within
our own Federation Board —
This should be the goal of any
president, of course. Improv
ing relations is not an easy
task because of mutued dif
ferences in philosophies and
personalities, but because of
our common goals, I feel we
have attained a successful
level of communication and ac
complishment. 1 must say we
have a strong board and no
one could ask for a stonger or
a more supportive executive
committee.
The coining months promise
to be challenging and exciting.
Our general campaign st£u*ts
soon and we do need to raise
$1,000,000 this year. The
Men’s major gifts “fly-in",
Superior Sunday, and Major
Gifts dinner coupled with the
wide range of Women’s Divi
sion events and the joint
Super Sunday are before us.
This year we plan that each of
these events will surpass the
previous year. Other conunit-
tees such as Social Services,
Community Relations, Alloca
tions, Missions, Project
Renewal, Cash Collections,
Jewish Education, etc. work at
all times throughout the year.
My job has been made easier
not only because of a strong
board but because of an excep
tionally strong executive com
mittee. I want to recognize our
vice-presidents, Ron Katz,
Ruth Goldberg, Bobbi Berns
tein; secretary, John Pransky;
treasurer, Allan Oxman; ex
presidents, Richard Klein and
Harry Lerner; allocations
chairman, Don Bernstein; and
(Continued from Page 1)
Executive Director, Marvin
Bienstock. These people con
tinue to lend strong and able
support and direction.
As President, I invite your
comments. We serve as an um-
breUa organization for you and
the community. The Charlotte
Jewish Federation is suc
cessful, yet there is much more
this organization can and
should do for the Charlotte
Jewish Community. I invite
yoy to call me diu*ing the day
at 376-7434 or write to me at
P.O. Box 6264, Charlotte, NC
28207.
