Aliette Abo
Aliette and Kathy organized a trip to the new Rave Theater, where the children saw "The Pursuit of Happiness," followed by dinner at Pizza D'Oro Restaurant and a basketball game at Lafayette College. The women also collected donated college sweatshirts and goodies from Just Born for the youths. The Rave Theater donated tickets and even brought food to the seated youngsters. In an article for the Express-Times, Aliette explained the origin of her idea: "I went to the movies with my husband and saw a preview for "Happy Feet," and I wanted to share happiness with people." The happiness she gave the children is something Aliette hopes they will always remember."I hope they remember the day and do something nice for someone else, when they have the opportunity to do so," she says. "We learn in Judaism that saving one person is like saving the world. I hope these children never stop believing in themselves and remember that one person can make a difference." JFS-LV is fortunate to have Aliette on its board of directors, along with many other dedicated people who are improving life in our community. Tama Lee Barsky Tama Lee has donated her time, talents and experience to help JFS-LV in many ways. She chaired our wedding gown sale in January, a project that generated $3,000 to benefit the agency. Twenty gowns have been sold, and Tama Lee continues to help brides-to-be choose from among the beautiful dresses that still remain on sale at JFS-LV. With a professional background in retail and sales, Tama brings valuable expertise and skill to the project. Tama Lee was assisted with the wedding gown sale by committee members Tama Fogelman, Aliette Abo, Alla Kligman, Roz Birnbaum, Sandy Zales, Linda Weiner, and Beverly Volk. A member of JFS-LV’s Board of Directors, Tama Lee also makes friendly visits to a senior residing in an assisted living community.
Tama Lee attended Cedar Crest College. She has lived in Philadelphia as well as Allentown, her present home. She is the mother of a son, who is a certified public accountant, and a daughter, who is a catering manager for a hotel and conference center. Tama Lee has five grandchildren. Her interests include reading, mah-jongg, bridge, movies, and shopping. Volunteering for JFS-LV has been eye-opening for Tama Lee. “Until I got involved, I didn’t know the scope of what Jewish Family Service does,” she said. “I am amazed at all the services the agency offers - adoption, the food baskets. These are all wonderful.” Most of all, she loves people and enjoys meeting new friends through her work at JFS-LV. “I am very pleased to be here,” she says. We are pleased to have Tama Lee and thank her for her dedication and enthusiasm. Update November 2008: Tama Lee was presented with a "Someone Special Volunteer" award (see picture above) "For Outstanding and Dedicated Service to the Community."
