Dear Friend,

As I reflect on the past 18 months since we launched Women's Philanthropy, I am profoundly moved by the response of our incredible community. It is only through the commitment and dedication of a wonderful team of women that we have been able to accomplish so much. Whether you have attended an event, spent time volunteering, participated on a committee, canvassed a card or made a donation, you have all helped us to "demonstrate" that a strong, committed sisterhood of women can truly make a difference!

But there is always so much more to be done.  We urge you to look ahead and consider all that we could accomplish in the coming months. Find your personal passion and engage! Join an existing program or share a new idea. We encourage you to "join" us and be part of this amazing "movement" as we engage in the meaningful work necessary to ensure the future of our great Jewish community both here in Montreal and in Israel, both for us and for our children.

With great thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with you all and constantly inspiring me to try harder and give more.

Sincerely,

Gail Adelson-Marcovitz
President, Women’s Philanthropy
