Awards / Celebrations
It was a banner year for Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service. In the same 12-month period the state of
Florida honored three of the agency’s volunteers with prestigious prizes.
The state awarded Sandy Klein, a 25-year-volunteer and founder of the “Diamond Club,” a social group
for people over age 75, “State Volunteer of the Year.”
The state honored Judy and Herbert Levy as “Florida’s Grandparents of the Year,” for delivering food
to RRJFS clients. The Levy’s 12-year-old grandson, Dylan, nominated them with a drawing of the three
bringing meals to a home during a rainstorm.
The Governor’s Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service praised RRJFS for training the
chronically mentally ill participants who visit its daily drop-in center, to be volunteers to help King’s Point
with hurricane readiness. The Welcome Home attendees stuffed bags with handy items for the next big
storm for every apartment in the development.
Dr. Jaclynn Faffer celebrated her 10th anniversary as CEO, and Mark Cherny, supervisor of outreach and
community services, was named “RRJFS Employee of the Year.”
