people who want to be actively
involved with Federation and the
community. There is the potential
for enhancement of the
Federation’s image within the
community.
As the New Year approaches,
Cary sees it as a year “to redefine
the Federation’s role in Chariotte.”
The Federation supports
Jewish life not only in Chariotte,
but in Israel and in other places
around the world as well. Of
course, many people associate the
Federation with just the Campaign,
those people who always ask for
nK>ney.
But, as Cary points out, if
Federation doesn’t raise the money
to support Jewish life in Chariotte,
who will? Can any of us imagine
Chariotte without Shalom the
KX and all the activities that take
place in conjunction with these
entities?
She will be working as
Director of Devekipment to broad
en the scope of the Federation. In
this capacity she is staffmg the
Jewish Community Relations
Committee, chaired by Adam
Bernstein.
This group has been extreme
ly active in the first months of its
oiganization. A calendar has been
sent to all the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg schools to advise
them of Jewish holidays and to
strengthen the communication
between the schools and the Jewish
community so the needs of Jewish
students, especially regarding
school schedules, will be recog
nized aixl addressed. The commit
tee is also developing a media
package to help leaders in the
Jewish community deal construc
tively with the news media. They
are adso putting the finishing touch
es on CharioOe’s first Jewish festi
val, L’chaim Charlotte, 1996. Her
excitement for these projects is
obvious.
Mazd tov, Cary! We can hard
ly wait to see what other things you
devetop in your new rote.
