Message from Our Board Chair
WhatFriends,aterrific
Dear
year this has been celebrating CJE SeniorLife’s 50th anniversary, with the grand finale being tonight’s gala! Thank you for joining us as we honor the work of this extraordinary organization. Tonight, we are celebrating what we have accomplished as an agency—and look ahead to how we will support senior services in the future.
For the last 50 years, we have played a critical role in the care of Jewish older adults and the broader community. This is made possible by the work of CJE leadership and staff, countless hours from our volunteers, guidance from our Board, and very importantly, the support of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago and our generous donors. As we approach the next 50 years, we remain steadfast in our mission and uphold our commitment to evolve as an agency to meet the changing needs of older adults and their families.
In the past year, we adopted our new vision, and it has become the foundation of our work moving forward. This new vision is a true testament to our commitment to the health and welfare of older adults and their families in the Jewish and larger community. We have identified and begun to implement “the best of the best” social services practices to make it easier for older adults and their family caregivers to access services and programs they need and want, in the community of their choice for a safe, healthy, and fulfilling life.
Our staff continues to assist thousands of older adults and their families through services such as counseling, support groups, home-delivered meals, and benefit services. They have also found innovative ways to broaden our reach and further grow programs like legal services, and expanded community engagement opportunities, both in-person and virtually. We are finishing renovating our Adult Day Services space in Evanston, and have collaborated with Elderwerks Educational Services for a new virtual reality training program for professionals caring for adults with dementia called Dementia Reality®. This is just a small sample of the tremendous work being done daily throughout CJE!
Tonight, as we honor CJE and those that support us, I hope you will leave with a deeper insight into our comprehensive approach to caring for older adults. This organization, founded on Jewish values and principles, feels a great responsibility to care for our community at large. To do this, we must ensure that CJE has the resources to address the financial, emotional, physical, and spiritual requirements of future generations.
Thank you to our Celebrate CJE Co-Chairs Don Trossman and Nicole Katz for planning our gala as well as your ongoing dedication to CJE SeniorLife. And with sincere gratitude to the Jewish Federation, the entire CJE Board of Directors, our incredible sponsors, ad book contributors, members of the host committee, and donors. Your enormous contributions to ensure a successful event continue to be inspiring.
May you and your families have a happy and healthy new year.
Thank you and be well,
Michael Saltzman Board Chair
from Our President & CEO
Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to be together with you in person for the first time in three years! After many months of anticipation, we are excited to celebrate with you and toast to the successes we share in pursuit of our goal to enhance the lives of older adults.
While we are still navigating in the aftermath of the pandemic, and learning a new way of doing our work, we have had a very productive year at CJE SeniorLife. We continue to provide great care to our residents and clients while being equally focused on implementing our new vision.
As you know, we spent last year researching and evaluating solutions, to help us define a forward-thinking path for CJE. In response to the changing needs of seniors and their families, we have a new vision, which is to help older adults live better every day connected to the community of their choice with access to trusted care and a full range of services, rooted in Jewish values. This year, we have focused on our internal structure and processes. In doing so, we collaborated and engaged with our staff, added new technology and tools, and developed new roles, all with the goal to improve our clients’ experience and support a service-centric culture. We have moved the agency forward in just a short time, but still have more work ahead of us. However, once fully implemented, we will be better equipped as an agency to provide a simpler process with positive outcomes for our clients and residents.
I am proud of our agency and what we have accomplished. One of the best outcomes so far was confirmation of something we already knew—our Board of Directors and staff are truly dedicated to the mission of CJE. Their passion for helping older adults and their families through the challenges that come with growing older was demonstrated time and time again this past year.
None of this, both what we do today and in the future, is possible without the support from our dedicated volunteers, outstanding business partners, and generous donors. Your support for Celebrate CJE, and philanthropy throughout the year, coalesces the people and resources that enable us to be here today, tomorrow, and for our next 50 years. We couldn’t do it without you! Thank you for supporting CJE SeniorLife and being a partner in our sacred work.
Warmest Regards, Dan

CRISTINA CASTRO SENATOR
pleased to congratulate CJE SeniorLife in celebrating 50 years of success as a non-for-profit organization serving our local community. I am greatly appreciative to have CJE in our area. CJE SeniorLife has provided services to some of the most vulnerable people in our community, including thousands of older adults through comprehensive support for healthcare and housing resources.
Every year, CJE provides programming for over 20,000 older adults and family members in our neighborhoods. In the past year alone, they have assisted over 1500 clients through over 4700 hours of service, with 80% of the clients reporting they were more financially stable than before. The home-delivered food service programs, healthcare and therapy groups, and residential services not only assist our senior citizens to enhance their quality and comfort of life, but also work tirelessly to foster long-lasting networks of mentors, mentees, and close friendships.
The quick adjustment to the COVID-19 pandemic has been unparalleled in providing our community with the resources necessary to overcome the unique challenges of the quarantine. The Cyber Club has established an online presence to promote physical fitness, mental health awareness, and a sense of community. I am also impressed with the assistance CJE provides with housing, mental health research, and benefit counseling.
In addition, I commend the work of their team of 600 employees, who assist our senior population with daily tasks in the comfort of their own homes.
I wish CJE SeniorLife many more years of continued success in their future endeavors, and thank them for all the work they do in serving our community.

Dear President & CEO Fagin,
I am writing to express my support for CJE SeniorLife. CJE SeniorLife provides such critical services for older adults, including their families and support network.
CJE SeniorLife has endured many challenges, most recently being the pandemic. However, CJE still continues to strengthen the bodies and minds of so many seniors who have come from the hospital by offering them great therapy and specialized exercises that can help many live independently again. By providing programs that not only rehab the physical side but the mental side is a beautiful service CJE offers. CJE’s art program for example is of great value as it allows the creative side of the brain to be activated which can lead to essential benefits for many seniors. As a state representative of many constituents who are seniors, it is critical that we have effective organizations that can meet the needs my community faces. The ability to go above and beyond is what sets CJE SeniorLife apart from many others.
Ifirmly support CJE SeniorLife and congratulationson your 50-year anniversary which is quite an achievement.

Dear Nicole and Don,
Congratulations and thank you for the opportunity to join with you to Celebrate CJE and honor this amazing organization as it celebrates its 50th Anniversary. CJE continues to make a difference in the lives of older adults and their families every day. CJE SeniorLife’s values are a reflection of our community, respect (kavod), advocacy (timicha), compassion (chesed), intention (kavanah), innovation (chidushim) and accountability (arevut).
CJE’s tireless work to support seniors with independent housing, assisted living, home-delivered meals, transportation, adult day services, geriatric care management, health and wellness activities, counseling services and many others is something CJE can be immensely proud of. My staff and I are proud to work alongside CJE to best serve our seniors when they are in need of assistance.

I am proud to support CJE SeniorLife and applaud them for the critical work they have done throughout the pandemic to support our older adults through a comprehensive network of care.
During an incredibly difficult year, CJE stepped up to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community by providing counseling and mental health services through direct telehealth care. In addition, CJE went above and beyond to ensure that our elders had access to the essential services they needed to get through the pandemic.
I thank everyone at CJE for their continued dedication to serving older adults in our community and beyond, even in the most difficult of times.

Dear CJE SeniorLife Board and Staff,
Congratulations on 50 years of serving the Chicago area by providing important services to seniors and their families. It is my pleasure to write this letter honoring the supportive care network that you have built to enrich the lives of more than 20,000 seniors in our community.
The mental, physical, and social wellness services you provide continue to be invaluable to seniors throughout Chicago and the North Shore. The free support groups offer crucial avenues for people to connect in ways that they otherwise could not in order to discuss personal challenges and find a supportive community during difficult times. In addition to providing services, your focus on interpersonal connection is important for the wellbeing of everyone that you serve. Providing support groups virtually as well as in-person has been vital, ensuring those vulnerable to ongoing health threats can receive support in the manner that they feel most safe.
CJE is reimagining what supporting our seniors can look like and creating what I can sincerely call a community of care. Thank you for your continued dedication to supporting and improving our community. I am grateful that we can come together this year to celebrate all CJE and its dedicated staff have accomplished. I express my deepest admiration for all that your organization has done so far, and I am wishing you success for the many more years to come.
Best Regards, Bob StateMorganRepresentative

AsGreetings!theState
Representative of the 25th District in the State of Illinois, I am thrilled to welcome everyone gathered tonight for CJE SeniorLife’s 50th Annual Celebrate CJE event.
Since its inception in 1972, CJE SeniorLife has been an innovative provider of community-based programs for older adults and their families throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The dynamic services provided to the more than 23,000 seniors and family members served by CJE SeniorLife every year help give them much-needed sense of meaning, independence, and good health; truly, the least we can do in the humbling task of respecting our elders. For this I am proud to serve as Honorary Chair of this event. Tonight’s event offers an excellent opportunity to reflect on your many accomplishments made during the past 50 years, and to make plans for the future of your organization that builds on past success. I am certain CJE SeniorLife’s dedication to the community will continue for many years to come.
On behalf of the people of the 25th District, I offer my best wishes for an enjoyable and ceremonious occasion.

Dear CJE SeniorLife Board Members, Staff and Supporters,
On behalf of the City of Evanston, I would like to congratulate CJE SeniorLife on an extraordinary record of providing compassionate care and steadfast support for older adults and their families in Evanston and throughout the Chicago area.
CJE has been a dedicated community partner and an invaluable resource for older adults in our community for roughly half a century, but its services have been especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. With thousands of older adults isolated during this stressful and uncertain time, CJE has served as a lifeline, providing virtual enrichment and social activities, telehealth services, counseling, and home meal delivery to those in need.
I’m thrilled at the recent opening on Howard Street of the Ann Rainey Apartments with 60 new affordable housing units, bringing much needed affordable housing to our community and complementing CJE’s existing Adult Day Services, which enrich the lives of so many residents.
As Mayor of Evanston, I’m truly grateful for the lasting, positive impact CJE has had in our community, and I look forward to many more years celebrating and supporting this wonderful
