Problem Solvers Has A New Home - WVUE Channel 8

For over 16 years, the NCJW Problem Solvers has been advising and helping 

the New Orleans community to solve consumer issues. We have enjoyed

our relationship  with WDSU, but felt the time had come to move in a new

direction.  We are therefore pleased to announce that effective July 21, 2010, 

we will be continuing this service under the auspices of 

WVUE- Channel 8.

Summer Volunteer Opportunity in 

New Orleans Public Schools

ReNEW Charter Schools is looking for volunteers
to assist at Live Oak and Laurel Elementary schools.  Both schools are located in the Irish Channel neighborhood.  Both schools have been low performing in the past and were previously run by the Recovery School District.  There is a need for volunteers to help get the buildings ready for the start of school in August.  The outstanding needs are painting the building, tagging library books with bar codes and reading levels, removing years of staples and organizing/inventorying supplies that were packed in from the last school district/school year.  They hope to have the building transformed and inviting by the start of the school year August 2nd.
 
If you are interested in this short-term volunteer opportunity please contact Barbara Schuler at 458-9662 or barbara@renewschools.org.  Be sure to tell Barbara that you represent the National Council of Jewish Women.

Congratulations

Phyllis Nitzkin
NCJW-Greater New Orleans President, 2010-2012

The weather was stormy but inside the mood was all sunshine as Phyllis was installed as the 51st president of  the Greater New Orleans Section on Sunday, May 16, 2010 at the  Renaissance Arts Hotel 

Special appreciation and recognition to immediate past President, Ina Weber Davis, for her passionate leadership over the last  three and a  half years.

Many thanks to David Dartnell and his models for the fashion highlights and to Armand St. Martin for his beautiful piano recital.

Hats off to Vivian Cahn and her committee for a successful event and for keeping her calm in the face of the New Orleans storm!

Congratulations to Susan Hess, outgoing Vice President, for her recognition with the President's Award from Ina.

Book Reading & Signing
at National World War II Museum
was held Thursday, May 06, 2010 
 
     The book, It Happened in Italy, tells the story of Elizabeth Bettina’s discovery of a single faded photo taken in 1940, which led her on a quest that uncovered the little-known story of how thousands of Jews in Italy were saved during WWII. This moving story ignites the soul, emphasizing that acts of kindness and humanity were possible amidst a time of great sadness and horror. Bettina will be joined by Holocaust survivor Ursula Korn-Selig, who was hidden in Italy during the war. Together, they will tell how righteous people throughout the Italian countryside saved over 30,000 Jews.
