Campaign Tops $1M to Date: Enters Final Stage Pledges to the Charlotte Jew ish Federation’s 1992 Annual Campaign have reached $1,005,455 on the way to the overall goal of $1.25 million. Organizers hope to complete the fundraising drive by the end of April. The strong effort to date has been buoyed by Quadrant II, or “face-to-face solicitations,” and the Women’s Division. Quad rant II, cochaired by Alan Kro- novet, Phyllis Schiffman and Rich Osborne, reported a 15 percent increase over last year’s rate. Sara Schreibman, presi dent of Women’s Division, said her area’s solicitations continue to be strong and are on the way to another record-breaking per formance. “We’ve set a good, aggressive pace for ourselves this year and so far, the community has come through,” said Bobbi Bernstein, campaign cochair. “But there’s a way to go yet. We’ve got to maintain our momentum through the final weeks and make that goal. A lot of Jewish people all over the world are depending on us.” As of mid-March, more than 500 pledges had been made and 1,900 donor cards were still “out,” or donations not received. The next campaign milestone is Super Sunday, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, April 5. Cochaired by Shel Goldstein, Mark Lerner, Todd Gorelick and Cary Bernstein, the event will feature telephone solicita tions to donors who gave $100 or less to the campaign last year, as well as people who have never contributed to the Federation. A direct mail campaign during March was launched to educate these two groups leading up to the event. Yom Hashoah Commemoration Events Planned Members of the N.C. State Holocaust Commission from Charlotte, Henry Hirschmann, Irving Mond, Celia Scher and Susan Cemyak-Spatz, in con junction with the Jewish Com munity Center, are sponsoring a special program to commemo rate the Holocaust, on Sunday, May 3 at 6 p.m. at Shalom Park in Gorelick Hall. Other members of the com mittee arc Dorothy Ashendorf, Alan Sussman and Fran Rosen berg. The program will begin with a candlelighting ccrcmony by survivors, their children and local liberators of German Con centration Camps during World War II. The entire community is in vited to attend. Scott Blacker, a high school student, will read his poem about the “March of the Living.” This is a march in which youths from all over the world witness the ultimate anti-Semitism — Dachau, Auschwitz, Buchen- wald, Lichtenau. Melissa Monosoff, the only teen from the Carolinas, will be going on this ‘March’which runs April 27-May 11. Her report on this will appear in a future edition of The CJS. There will be a Holocaust Exhibit on display in the Speiz- man Galleries at Shalom Park beginning Monday, Apr. 4, and continuing through Monday, May 31. It will be available for viewing during the hours that the ‘J’ is open. Schools, churches and individuals are encouraged to visit. Groups may make arrangements for a tour and a speaker on the Holocaust by calling Fran Rosenberg, 366- 5007. Also in commemoration of the Holocaust, there will be performances of the Golden Circle Theatre/JCC production of “The Diary of Anne Frank” at Shalom Park, Gorelick Hall. They will be on Apr. 30, May 2, 3,4, 7, 9 and 10. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door. Cost is $10 for JCC members; students and seniors. $9; general public, $12.
