The focus of the March In Like A Lion What better way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon than to listen to a performance by Viva Klezmer? Sponsored by the JCC, the concert in Sardis Presbyterian’s Scout Hut was in celebration of Jewish Music Season. Both young and old alike clapped in rhythm and swayed to the music of Gene and Ali Kavadlo, and fellow musiciun Leo Bjorlie. The threesome played some old favorites from “Fiddler on the Roof,” as well as some familiar ethnic melodies like “Tzena, Tzena” and “Jerusalem of Gold.” After the concert, the au dience and musicians mingled together, snacking on bagels and cream cheese and sipping apple juice.

She didn’t like the office hours she maintained when she worked as a bookkeeper before her children were bom. As a volunteer, she can make her own hours. Terri finds volunteering “is a neat feeling; it’s being able to let things touch you, especially with older adults and children.” Although, realistically, it sometimes is unrewarding. Terri says that it generally “makes it easy to go to sleep at night,” and that her family feels good about her volunteering. The JCC staff is delighted that Terri loves helping them and the Jewish community. They find Terri to be a unique and committed volunteer and look forward to a productive future as coworkers. ment Committee consists of Miles Levine, Chairman; Peggy Gartner, Meg Golds tein, Sandra Gunn, Ben Jaffa and Harold Josephson.
