Part-time help wanted
By Jane Schiff, Federation Board Chair
The Jewish Federation of Greater Naples is looking for a part-time program assistant
T
hings may be different, but some things remain important. Our bylaws state that we need to have an annual meeting each year. And, for many years, a very wonderful part of our social calendar has been a Power of Community Celebration to thank our Annual Campaign donors for their generosity. Due to a worldwide pandemic — maybe you’ve heard rumors about it — we decided that this year, rather than have two events, we will combine the annual meeting and the Power of Community Celebration into one event. In one hour, we will elect the new Board of Directors for the Jewish
Federation of Greater Naples, give out the Stand Up For Justice awards, announce the current amount of donations to our annual campaign, and have a comedian entertain us. The chair for this event is Goldie Bertone. There is a large announcement with all the details on page 23. Proxy ballots were mailed to each member of the Federation and we ask that you return your ballot as soon as possible, especially since we will not be meeting in person, as these ballots are your only chance to vote in the election. Join us Tuesday night, April 13, at 7 p.m., to celebrate our accomplishments, all of which is possible because of you!
