L'Dor V'Dor by Shel Kolner Did you ever want to make your potato latkes taste better? I have a new recipe. Serve them to 252 appreciative seniors out from their homes at a Hanukkah party at the Temple. It sure does make the ones you eat taste sweeter. Add to the recipe 150 of our kids singing and dancing. Introduce Jeanne Brei who, while tap dancing, sang some oldies from the 30's and 40's, accompanied by the renowned pianist George Pollak. Stir in a lunch prepared by Gustav Mauler's team and discover what a great time the L'Dor VDor guests can have. Just to be sure our guests knew it was Hanukkah, the fourth graders presented each of them with a pillowcase adorned with art done by all the children. Over 50 volunteers helped the 252 guests who came from their own homes or from one of 25 facilities. It is the volunteers who make these events the successes they arc. L'Dor V'Dor is a labor-intensive project and we could not offer this program to the community without exceptional and abundant volunteer help. I have been the L'Dor VDor coordinator for about 6 months, and I have not seen a more dedicated group of volunteers. Each seems to care genuinely about the role he or she is playing and each puts out extraordinary energy and warmth to make sure our guests have the most joyous time possible. I also wish to acknowledge, with gratitude, those who created L'Dor V'Dor. As I looked at our guests arid saw the pleasure on their faces, I recognized that the enormous effort that went toward giving them a happy experience irr our synagogue was worth the hard work we <ill contributed. As we progress into the year, our goal is to serve a minimum of 250 seniors at each event. If you know of any senior who is homebound and could benefit from this opportunity to socialize with other people, please call the L'Dor VDor coordinator, Shel Kolner (228-4744 or 334- 8914), or the Temple office (804- 1333 ext 100). We'll make sure they receive invitations to the upcoming events, which are planned for Purim on February 19th, Passover on April 22nd and Shavuot on June 3rd. We invite you to join the camaraderie and see how good it feels to make a difference in the life of a homebound senior by being part of the L'Dor V'Dor volunteer program. S a v e t h e D a t e !

NAEYC In early November, I had the opportunity to attend the annual National Association of Young Children (NAEYC) conference in Chicago. I was fortunate enough to bring along my Assistant Director as well as four of our incredible teachers for four jam-packed days of learning with the major movers and shakers in early childhood education. Although exhausted from our days of intense learning sessions, we somehow found time to visit the Field Museum and Miracle Mile. We even shared a Chicago-style pizza. In addition to revitalizing our staff by giving them new ideas and concepts to Jon Mitzmacher Director of Education Education bring back to our classes, children, and other staff, this conference is also important because we are currently undergoing the accreditation process through NAEYC convention.

I Ier face is full of light, her smile is large and bright ? and it easily inspires joy in others. Like any small girl with a big imagination, she enjoys reading and is eager to learn new things about the world around her. She also loves to sing and dance. Brooke has a nineteen-year-old brother, Timothy, who went away to serve our country in Iraq. Timothy was called home when the shocking news struck the Alexander family: Brooke had been diagnosed with stage three Glioma, a deadly cancer. I Ier brain tumors are completely inoperable. In order to maintain Brooke's increasingly pricey treatment, her family needs your help. We're asking you to give what you can; any little bit will help ? but it's going to take a lot to fight for the cause of making this beautiful little girl well again. A fund has been set up in Brooke Alexander's name and will be used to cover medical costs, travel to California to be treated by specialists, incidentals for her travels, and nursing care for her at home while her mother works to support the rest of her family. Caren Alexander, Brooke's mother, is one of our valued Temple Beth Sholom members. She moved here to Las Vegas from California with her family in 1994. Caren has three daughters (Brooke, 3, Cailey, 15, and Elise, 17) and one son (Timothy, 19). Brooke's illness caught her entire family off guard and came with no warning. If Caren could tell you one thing, it would be to hug and appreciate your loved ones every day; treasure every moment and take nothing for granted. Our ultimate goal is to raise $100,000 for Brooke. If you wish to donate for the cause of saving this young girl's life, you may do so by sending your funds to: Red Rock Community Bank 1000 W Charleston Ste. 100 Las Vegas, NV 89135 (702) 948-7500 Account #462004220 (Tax ID #20-0330559) Audrey Merkin Scholarship Fund Our warmest thanks to all those who made the Audrey Merkin Scholarship Fundraiser successful beyond all expectations.
