As the FRD <strong>Chai</strong>r, and in my own philanthropy,<br />
I am passionate about securing the well-being<br />
<strong>of</strong> our <strong>Jewish</strong> community as well as our people,<br />
today and into the future. While we are a large<br />
community, we are still very young compared<br />
to cities like Chicago, Boston or New York,<br />
where endowments have been in place for<br />
generations. We’re committed to meeting the<br />
ever-growing needs around us.<br />
As I complete my three-year tenure as<br />
Campaign <strong>Chai</strong>r, I am thrilled to report that<br />
our Annual Campaign is increasing. There’s<br />
a buzz in the air. If you’ve come to some <strong>of</strong><br />
our dynamic campaign events recently, you’ve<br />
seen and felt it. From our country clubs and<br />
divisions, from Women’s Philanthropy, and<br />
major donor functions to THE EVENT, the<br />
revitalization <strong>of</strong> our campaign and community is unmistakable.<br />
So I’m thrilled that we’re moving to a new stage <strong>of</strong> life as a<br />
community, coming together to take great strides toward a<br />
brighter <strong>Jewish</strong> future. Our Foundation’s brand new Promises Kept<br />
Endowment Campaign has already brought in over $3.2 million<br />
in received and expected dollars. The 15 local synagogue, agency<br />
and school partners in our Create a <strong>Jewish</strong> Legacy program have<br />
raised more than $4 million in expected funds as the initiative ends<br />
its second year. In addition, 16 visionary women protected their<br />
annual Lion <strong>of</strong> Judah gifts forever with generous endowments.<br />
And our Annual Campaign is up with signs <strong>of</strong> growth and expansion<br />
everywhere. Today, the future <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Federation</strong> is looking bright!<br />
Have a wonderful summer,<br />
We’re reaching out wider and deeper than ever before to engage<br />
people throughout our community at all levels – with new King David<br />
Society programming, initiatives like Emerging <strong>Jewish</strong> Philanthropists,<br />
the rejuvenated Business & Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Division, young adult<br />
activities and more. We’ve jumpstarted with Campaign Ignition and<br />
restored the Campaign Cabinet. We’re traveling to Cuba, DC, Russia,<br />
Greece and, <strong>of</strong> course, Israel, returning inspired to do more.<br />
Looking back on how far we’ve come, I couldn’t be more proud.<br />
As I move on to chair Planning & Allocations, please join me in<br />
welcoming our next Campaign <strong>Chai</strong>r, Betty Kane.<br />
