Farewell but not goodbye

By Alicia Feldman, Development Director

It seems only fitting that I write this to you almost exactly two years after my very first Federation Star article. My time as your PJ Library coordinator is coming to an end. The time in my life is right to take on a new and exciting role within Jewish Federation of Greater Naples as development director.

While my new position officially started Sept. 1, I will be helping with PJ Library until the coordinator position is filled. But, more importantly, we are still happily a PJ Library family and will be participating in future PJ events.

The first event will be the PJ Library Book Swap on Sunday, Oct. 22, 3:30-4:30 p.m. at the North Collier Regional Park “Can U Dig It” playground. I’m sure many of us have PJ Library or PJOW books not in heavy rotation that can be cleared out to make room for new books. But, no worries, if you’re not ready to part with any, come play, have some snacks and pick up some books for your collection. Any books not adopted will be donated to “little libraries” around town.

Finally, I’d like to take a moment to say thank you to all my PJ families for how enjoyable you have made this position for me. I can’t help but think how lucky I am to have enjoyed a job this much, which makes saying goodbye so hard. I look forward to many more playdates together in the coming years.
