An open letter to members of the JCKI called a meeting of the concerned members of the JCK because I felt like our “base” leadership was aging and we needed some input, ideas, vitality to keep our community viable- in service to our Kauai community and visiting Jews.In attendance were the 6 board members- Marty Kahn (P), Dale Rosenfeld (VP & T), Carol Pescaia (S), Larry Raithaus, Jeff Tucker (Webmaster), and Rob Goldberg as well asMonroe Richman, Richard and Barbara Levine. Regrets received from off-island members.Meeting Recap Here is a recap of the discussion and the resolution of the issues at hand:
In Conclusion We are an aging community and unless younger members step forward to re-energize the group, there will not be a JCK available for your children and grandchildren.So I respectfully reiterate my plea to have younger concerned members step forward and assume the role that some of us have been shouldering for more than 20 years.B’shalom.Comments.Subscribe to our email updates
