GOLF CLASSIC. The MJCCA’s Harry
Maziar Classic, which took place June 22,
drew more than 110 golfers to the Atlanta
National Golf Club, including Billi and
Bernie Marcus, Steve Selig, and, of course,
the tournament’s namesake, Harry Maziar.
The event raised more than $50,000, which
will be used to enhance vital MJCCA programs
such as preschool and camping
scholarships, Alzheimer’s daycare services,
developmental disabilities programming,
and much more. Each year, the tournament
honors an outstanding member of the community.
This year’s tournament honored
Harry Maziar, co-chair of the MJCCA
Governance Board, past MJCCA president,
native Atlantan, and dedicated member of
the community.
Retired chairman of the chemical division
of National Service Industries, Harry
Maziar has been active in a wide variety of
philanthropic and social programs, including
Junior Achievement, the Atlanta
Humane Society, the Jewish Federation of
Greater Atlanta, Jewish Family & Career
Services, The William Breman Jewish
Home, and United Way. He is executive-inresidence
at the Michael J. Coles College of
Business at Kennesaw State University and
former president of Zep Manufacturing
Company. Maziar lives in Buckhead with
his wife, Sherry.

THE MIRACLE OF JEWISH CUBA. This
winter, fifteen Atlantans will travel to Cuba
to deliver donations to the Jewish community.
The trip, which runs December 28,
2009-January 4, 2010, will give participants
the opportunity to explore Judaism through
another culture while experiencing the trip
of a lifetime. While traveling, participants
will stop along the way to deliver donations;
visit landmarks such as Patronato,
Old Havana, Templo Sepharadi, and
Revolution Square; and have the unique
experience of celebrating Shabbat and ringing
in the New Year in a different country.
Participants will solicit donations of pharmaceuticals
and deliver items ranging from
baby aspirin to adult diapers. Monetary
donations will also be delivered to the community.
Fees are $2,950 for a double occupancy
room or an additional $300 for a single
occupancy room. The trip includes flight,
hotel, transportation, guides, some meals,
and medical insurance. The deposit and
application are due October 15.
