SUPER SUNDAY — APRIL 5

Sunday, April 5 will be no ordinary
day. It will be Super. It will be Super
Sunday 1987.

This year the CKJF—UJA campaign will
conduct the fifth annual marathon tele-
phone fund—raiser. Volunteers will call
over 800 people asking for support of our
Federation and the United Jewish Appeal
Campaign. This effort generally raises
over $18,000 each year.

Our annual Federation/United Jewish
Appeal Campaign is the primary
fund-raising instrument for the support of
humanitarian programs and social services
for Jews at home and abroad. Through the
campaign, we strengthen our own community
and work to establish a secure and vital
future for Jewish life worldwide.

CKJF sends 70 percent of monies raised
in our General Campaign to UJA which in
turn transmits the funds to Israel,
primarily through the United Israel
Appeal. UlA monitors and controls
appropriate, efficient and effective
expenditures on programs.

Approximately 80 percent of UJA’s
disbursements are channeled, through UlA,
to the Jewish Agency of Israel.

The remainder of UJA’s overseas trans-
mittals goes to the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee, an organization
that has for more than 70 years met
rescue, welfare and rehabilitation needs
of Jews around the world.

Funds retained by our Federation for
local programs support educational,

 

social, and service projects of this
community, including Camp Shalom, the CKJF
Forum Series, Emergency Loan Relief, camp
scholarships, leadership development,
speakers bureau, Yom Hashoa and Yom
H’atzmaut observances, pre-school holiday
parties, and Shalom Lexington for newcom-
ers.

In addition, over $15,000 is allocated
to other charities -— Anti—Defamation
League, Camp Young Judaea and Goldman
Union Camp, American Jewish Congress,
Hebrew Union College, National Conference
of Soviet Jews, God’s Pantry, Ronald
McDonald House, to name a few.

Besides enhancing the quality of Jewish
life in Central Kentucky, campaign dollars
help Jews with serious needs, both in
Israel and around the world, who depend on
the American Jewish community.
