Levine, President 4 I CKJA AFFILIATES WITH FQUR COURTSW As you well know, CKJA has long been aware of Lexington's need for a facility which would provide quality residential care for our Jewish elderly. Two years ago, Four Courts, the Louisville Hebrew Home approached CKJA with a proposal to extend the services of their new facility to the Central Kentucky Jewish community. Just within this past month the CKJA Board of Directors reached an agreement whereby Four Courts has set aside five beds to serve our local needs. We are pleased with the opportunity to become associated with Four Courts, a facility long known for its dedication to providing its residents with a home built upon Jewish traditions and values. Four Courts is more than a nursing home. It offers skilled, intermediate and personal levels of care with individual attention given by a dedicated staff. Residents can participate in a variety of religious, cultural and recreational activities. Of course, all meals are strictly Kosher and Sabbath services are held regularly. Sue Friedman has agreed to serve as liason with Four Courts. She would be happy to talk to anyone who wants additional infor— mation about Four Courts or about admissions procedures. Sue can be reached at 266—5321. The CKJA Board of Directors asks you to join us in supporting a home for our elderly that offers the very best in a Jewish family environment where each individual is treated with dignity and respect. We hope that you will return the enclosed member- ship card as a demonstration of your interest and concern. , ,__._.COIxiMUNlTwQI2KEE REGTNS JOR JULY 1 At its most recent meeting, the board of CKJA hired its first professional Community ”Jorker.
