On September 22nd, 2014, the new Brownstein atri- um was dedicated with Brownstein family members in attendance.

Estate planning includes charitable gifts. Creating a legacy gift allows the charity to acknowledge your support today and benefit tomorrow. Jewish Eldercare recently honoured a significant legacy gift from Harvey Rosenthall by naming the new state-of-the-art education room on the 5th floor in loving memory of his parents Nita and Manny Rosenthall. Pictured are Harvey and Barbara Rosenthall at the official ribbon-cutting ceremony which was followed by a L’Chaim for family and friends. Legacy gifts can include bequests in a will, gifts of life insurance, gifts of RRSP income, and more.

STANLEY HITZIG was recognized with the Outstanding Service Award at the annual General Meeting at Donald Berman Maimonides. Hitzig’s good friend Harvey Levenson spoke of his role as President of the Foundation from 1991-1997 and his ongoing commitment to the Centre and its residents. Harvey’s late Uncle Phil Levenson was the one who introduced him to the Maimonides family over 30 years ago in the time of the late Ben Cobrin and Davey Singerman to name a few. Hitzig continues to sit on the Corporation Board as well as being a member of the Medical Ethics Committee. Hitzig says that his philosophy of building a rainy day fund has allowed the Centre to spend over the years to improve the quality of care and services. “I am very proud of everything we have done and look forward to seeing what the future holds,” says Hitzig.

MILAN BRATIN was honoured with the Out- standing Service Award at the Annual General Meeting at Jewish Eldercare Centre on October 29, 2014. Past president Gerry Weinstein presented Bratin with the plaque – using words like “passion” and “dedication” to describe all that Bratin has done for Jewish Eldercare and his community. Bratin was instrumental in merging the foundations of Eldercare and the Hospital of Hope. He was the first president of the Jewish Hospital of Hope Eldercare Foundation. He continues to play key roles on the finance and investment commit- tees, as well as the board. 18 PRIVATE MEET & GREET ANNUAL Guitars signed by Don Felder were a hot commodity at FUNDRAISING the auction of this year’s DBM Battle of the Bands.
