VOLUNTEER OF THE N

hots

*ONTH

Problem—solver, Planner, Leader-—that pretty well describes our
Volunteer—of—the—Month, Allan Slovin. As CKJA Vice—President for
Campaign and Community Services, Allan exemplifies the finest kind of

service a person can offer to his community.

He combines insight, a

real talent for organization, persuasiveness, a keen sense of humor
(a primary requirement for anyone sitting on a Board of Directors),
and compassion, qualities which enable him to deal effectively with
anv task he undertakes. Allan always focuses upon getting the job

‘J

done — and getting it done well. Three years ago our campaign was in

trouble, so he set to work and provided the

basis upon which our

present Champaign Chairmen, Steve Caller and Gail Cohen, have built

so successfully. Thanks to Allan's efforts,

CKJA now maintains a

comprehensive computerized mailing list — no small accomplishment.
Bonds committees, nominating committees, search committees, future
planning committees — Allan addresses the issues of each with charac—
teristic good sense, vitality, and honest effort.

Nor does he neglect other community responsibilities. Currently,
Allan serves as Vice—President of the Lexington Philharmonic Society.

So, Allan, we all thank you for your work, your support of
and your commitment to making Lexington a better place for us t

as Jews.

CKJA Affiliates With Federations!!

In an action that may have far reaching effects on the future of
Jewish communal services in Lexington, CKJA has become a member of the
Council of Jewish Federations, the national coordinating body for
community federations. CKJA's application was accepted at the quarterly
meeting of the CJF board of directors in September. The nomination for
membership was ”enthusiastically seconded" by national board member
Stuart Handmaker of Louisville.

Begun 14 years ago as the Jewish Community Association, with the
main purpose of providing a Jewish Day Camp for children, the organiza—
tion has grown to include programs and services ranging from recreational
and cultural, to the social services. The decision to federate means
that the Lexington Jewish community will become more involved in the
mainstream of Jewish life. The affiliation with CJF will provide the
community a wide range of organizational resources that will enable us
to improve and expand in all areas of service.

Morton Mandel, President of CJF stated in his letter of acceptance
to CKJA: "This is surely a time when we face a new threshold of vastly
increased responsibilities and opportunities —— to assure peace in the
Middle East, rescue Soviet Jews, meet the needs of aging and our youth
and provide many other vital services."

Ed. Note: The annual CKJA—UJA Campaign provides the funds that support
our local community programs, in addition to meeting our primary obliga—
tion of supporting Israel and other selected Jewish Charities.

LOUISVILLE HEBREW HOME — 4 COURTS ACCEPTS
FIRST LEXINGTON RESIDENT

Just prior to the High Holydays, Mrs. Shirley Peretz, mother of
Dr. Bertram Peretz became the first Lexington resident to be accepted
by the Louisville Hebrew Home. Mrs. Peretz' move to Louisville is part
of the agreement reached between the Boards of CKJA and 4 Courts this

past year.

Mrs. Peretz has been settling into her new surroundings, and has
been gratified by the opportunity to once more live in a Jewish atmos—
phere. As she expressed her feelings at the time of her arrival, she
mentioned her pleasure at being able to keep kosher, and added, "but
you also need food for the soul. I enjoy talking to people. There's
so much to say.” Since then, Mrs. Peretz has particularly enjoyed the
Simchat Torah services which were a part of the High Holyday Observances,
and is looking forward to the completion of the new addition to the
nursing home.

The new building will house 75 people, and will include a full
complement of service facilities. Mrs. Peretz'son Bert was enthusiastic
in his description of the new facility. He mentioned that several parts
of the original building (a former mansion) were being incorporated into
the new, especially the entry arch from the old chapel as part of the
new chapel.

Dr. Peretz commented that everyone had been most solicitous of his
mother, and particularly praised Sam Stern, Board President, who had
helped significantly in Mrs. Peretz' transition from Lexington to
