Moving onward
Letters
Editor: I have recently decided to resign from my position as the
executive director, Pacific region of the Vancouver chapter of the
Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (CFHU). I
would like to take this opportunity, through the pages of the Jewish
Western Bulletin, to express my appreciation to all the wonderful
people in our community, Canada and Israel with whom I have had
the privilege of working and interacting with during the last 17
years.
I would like to express my thanks to all of the national executive
directors, national and local presidents, board members, staff,
and members of all other Jewish organizations whose guidance and
support I appreciated greatly. Moreover, I would like to express
my sincere gratitude to the outstanding volunteers in our community.
Their enthusiasm, creativity and commitment made my work for CFHU
both rewarding and enjoyable.
The past 17 years have been significant for the growth of the Vancouver
chapter of CFHU. It has been an honor and privilege to have been
part of this development and to have been instrumental in creating
so many fund-raising events and programs.
The Jewish Western Bulletin has played a significant role
in helping the Vancouver chapter of CFHU develop. Without the Bulletin's
support and co-operation, our events, significantly fund-raisers,
student recruitment program, lectures, New Leadership activities
(Young Associates), board of governors, Mission to Israel, etc.
could not have been as successful and as well attended.
I hope that, in my new job as director of development for the foundation
of the Louis Brier Home and Hospital, I will be able to continue
to serve the Vancouver Jewish community and work with our community's
leaders to meet the escalating needs of the Vancouver Jewish community
and its elderly population.
Todah rabah!
Dvori Balshine
Vancouve.
