32 non-fundraising programs. Last October, more than five dozen Lions, Poms, and their friends gathered at the home of Ruby Lion Goldie Cohen for a quarterly Lunch & Learn that focused on the topic of “Joy.” Guest speaker Arel Mishory shared with the group her philosophy that the secret to happiness comes from an “attitude of gratitude.” These 65 women came away from the event energized not only by the message conveyed but also by the people who were present in the room that day. It was by far the largest crowd to ever convene for a Lunch & Learn, and additional Lunch & Learns are planned for January, March, and June. Catching up at the Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado’s first Lion/Pom Lunch & Learn of the year were (L. to R.) guest speaker Arel Mishory, Krista Boscoe, Ruth Malman, Amy Morris, and Vicki Trachten-Schwartz. Dallas On a Women’s Philanthropy Mission to Charleston, 20 women from the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas traveled together, experiencing 300 years of Southern Jewish life and history. From the oldest Ashkenazic congregation in continuous use, Beth Shalom Beth Israel, to the Jewish Heritage Collection at the College of Charleston, to Sullivan’s Island, it was a mission that will be remembered fondly.

Dayton The Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton kicked off its 2010 Campaign, celebrating its 100th anniversary with an intimate dinner for major donors. The event featured National Women’s Philanthropy board member Paula Saginaw, who inspired the group with her moving words and made a compelling case for giving to the 2010 Campaign. In celebration of the 100th anniversary, all donors who attended the event were asked to increase their gifts by at least $100 dollars. Of the 51 gifts made that evening, 33 people increased their gifts by at least $100. One new Lion of Judah was pinned at this inspiring event.

Delaware During Sukkot 5770, the Jewish Federation of Delaware’s 2010 Lions of Judah gathered at the home of Past President Suzanne Grant to enjoy an evening of fine food and good company. Special guest Susie Fishbein, best-selling kosher cookbook author, presented a fabulous cooking demonstration and dinner of Middle Eastern martinis, salmon salad with carrot-ginger vinaigrette and bruschetta chicken with wheat berry salad. Cookbooks from Susie’s Kosher by Design series, a staple in many local homes, were available for purchase and autographing. Women’s Philanthropy Co-Chairs Ellen Wagner and Michelle Engelmann, along with event committee members Suzanne Grant, Carole Bakst and Caryl Marcus Stape, were delighted to welcome the sellout audience to this special event. Annual Campaign Chair Connie Sugarman welcomed four new Lions for 2010: Lena Elzufon, Marcia Kimmel, Sandy Lubaroff and Amy Crain Sternberg. Barbara Blumberg was honored as a new Ruby Lion.

More women are soliciting for the 2010 Campaign, the donor base and dollars raised have increased over the past three years, and younger women are becoming increasingly involved in the organization’s work. The 2010 Campaign kicked off with the Ruby Lion of Judah Event on September 22, 2009. In an effort to demonstrate the impact of our donors’ philanthropic dollars, two local recipients of services from Federation agencies shared their personal stories with our Lions. The results were incredibly positive, with more dollars raised at a positive gift-for-gift increase from 2009. Additionally, more young Lions of Judah were in attendance than in previous years, which gave the community hope of a brighter future. The Federation continues to personally reach out to donors. Through the assignment of 1,000 Pomegranate and Sabra ($365-$1,799) donors to 100 solicitors, we are working towards increasing the number of women who are engaged in this holy and critical work, in addition to raising dollars for all of the urgent needs in our community.
