    2010 Campaign Dinner a major hit!
    From the Executive Director, Alan Isaacs

    The major fundraising event of the 2010 Jewish Federation annual campaign took place at the Club at Grandezza on Sunday evening, January 24.

      TODAY’S FEDERATION:

      Shaping our future
      The mission of the Jewish Federation of Lee and Charlotte Counties is to provide and support philanthropic, educational and social service programs which promote such Jewish values as Tzedakah - benevolence, Tikun Olam - repairing the world, and K’lal Yisrael - taking responsibility for one another, in order to strengthen and enrich the Jewish community locally, in Israel and throughout the world.

      During the summer of 2008, the Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation of Lee and Charlotte Counties met at a retreat in order to chart the future course of our federation. We discussed what our Federation meant to each of us, how it could better serve more

      The story of our new logo
      We are a dynamic and evolving community, and the Jewish Federation today is a different organization than it was in 1989. As the world changes, and the general community changes, so does the Jewish community of Lee and Charlotte counties.

      Our new logo represents everything the Federation is and does locally, in Israel and throughout the world. The logo captures everything the Federation represents, and everything the Federation can be.

      The graphics to the right invoke feelings of compassion, protection, solidarity, oneness and pride. Together, these feelings, pictures and colors conjure images of heritage, family, unity, service and hope. This is what we the Federation strive to be – a reminder of who we are as a community  more
