When my husband and I moved to Lakeland in 1980, the first place we went was Temple Emanuel.  I have been active ever since, making many lifelong friends and celebrating many milestones.  I served on the board of directors for more than 10 years and am currently the 1st Vice President.

 

I attended Michigan State University and then pursued an MBA at the University of Chicago.  I worked as a corporate loan officer in Chicago and in the financial department of a local phosphate company upon my arrival in Lakeland.

 

I volunteered in the Polk County School system and am active in the Polk County Chapter of Hadassah.  I am proud of Temple Emanuel's wonderful relationship with the Lakeland community, and its involvement in community events such as the annual cancer walk, the community wide interfaith Thanksgiving service, and Florida Southern College's educational and fine arts programs. 

 

I look forward to the grand opening of Temple Emanuel's newly renovated Education Building in the fall of 2008, followed by the construction of a community center which will host social, cultural and educational events for the greater Lakeland Jewish community.  I believe that Temple Emanuel should always strive to be a warm, welcoming place where our Jewish heritage can be celebrated and strengthened.  I hope you will visit us and perhaps  become a part of our Temple family.
