Congratulations on your new and very important position! You are assuming this role at a pivotal time for this organization!
As a chapter president for almost four years, I know fund-raising has been a major issue due to Covid and its restrictions.
I am originally from the Radnor area outside of Philadelphia, but I now live in Boynton Beach, Florida. I am very passionate
about Hadassah and its missions. I know I can look to the future of this organization with hope and enthusiasm because of your tenure. Mazel Tov again and best wishes for the New Year!
