What does “Power of
Community” mean?
By Federation President/CEO Jeffrey Feld
and Federation Board Chair Jane Schiff
We know that you understand
the words, but do you fully
appreciate THE POWER of
YOUR involvement – your annual gift
and your being counted a member of our
community? If you do, then we hope
that you feel the same sense of pride,
belonging and accomplishment that we
feel every single day.
Using the Power of Community, we
interact with each of our agencies (more
on that later in this article). We reach
out to our larger community through
the Women’s Cultural Alliance (WCA)
and the Men’s Cultural Alliance (MCA),
forming bonds of camaraderie. We reach
out to the greater community through
the Jewish Community Relations Council
(JCRC); the Catholic-Jewish Dialogue;
our Israel Advocacy Committee
(IAC); the Shop with a Sherriff program;
our ongoing security programs with the
Collier County Sherriff’s Office; the
Community Chanukah menorah lighting
ceremony; the Israel Scouts, who
come from Israel and perform at various
venues in our community; and through
our Jewish Book Festival.
A primary mission of the Jewish
Community Relations Council is to
create a connection with our larger community.
The JCRC, for example:
Participates in the Martin Luther
King Jr. Day Parade
Gives Stand Up for Justice awards
to educators for programs they develop
to teach students anti-bullying
and tolerance
Gives Human Needs Awards to
organizations that reach out in the
general community and make a difference
in our citizens’ lives
Lobbies with legislators on key
issues
Tracks anti-Semitic activity in our
community
