REPLYING TO 0£PARTM£NT/PLANT LOCATI ON DEPAi:tTMENT/ PLANT L.OCATION YOUR MEMO OF: ____ SUBJECT: POSSIBLE DATES FOR OCTOBER COMMISSION MEETING n M HLZ and I suggest that we begin now to f i nd a date for our celebratory event in T October. There are very few dates f rom which to choose. IE The last of the major fall Jewish holi days , Simchat Torah, occurs on Friday, ~ October 12. The JDC has workshops and executive committee meetings Q October 15-17. The Jewi sh Agency Board of Governors meeting takes place in (0) Israel Octobe~ 25 through November 1. If we wish to avoid Fridays, as we have in the past, and to give Jewish Agency people the day previous to their meeting 1F for travel, that leaves us with Thursday, October 18, Monday, October 22 or 1F Tuesday, October 23 as the only possible dates. Il I understand that you are unavailable on the 18th. I suggest that I contact cc key commissioner s about the 22nd and 23rd. 1E The format will have to be determined. Our prel iminary recommendation calls for a brief business meeting of perhaps one hour, followed by a reception and possibly a dinner meeting for funders. Following this scenario, I suggest a 3:00 p.m. starting time. Ue a l so have to think about a location for this event. I believe this is better suited to a hotel than to the UJA/Federation. I can work with Bea Katcher on this, once I have your thoughts. 72752 (8/81) PRINTED IN U.S.A. cc: Henry L. Zucker/ @ TO: Morron r.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Give a Year. Change the World
    give a year. change the world. ANNUAL REPORT & DONOR RECOGNITION BOOK 2010 Dear Friends, Education is the foundation of the American dream. Yet more than one million students give up on school in the United States every year. The high school dropout crisis is a national epidemic that requires bold action. There is hope. We know how to identify the students most at risk and we know what they need to succeed. Research shows that we can identify students who are likely to drop out as early as middle school by tracking early warning indicators of poor attendance, behavior issues and course failure in math and English. City Year is harnessing the energy and idealism of young adults in national service and placing them in these high-need schools to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduation and life success. This year, City Year united more than 1,500 diverse young leaders in full-time service to help turn around our lowest performing schools, close the education achievement gap and help students succeed. City Year deploys our AmeriCorps members into high-poverty schools, serving as "near-peer" role models and performance coaches, helping students develop socio-emotionally and achieve academically. Corps members work with at-risk students from 7:30 a.m. until the last student leaves the after-school program at dusk. We are seeing promising results: sharp increases in student attendance, progress in behavior and improved course performance in math and English. In 2010, 90% of all students tutored by City Year improved raw literacy scores, and the number of students with less than 90% attendance was cut in half as a result of City Year’s attendance support activities.
