From the President
(excerpts from Spring 2012 Bulletin)
      Hannah's Friends was started in 2003 as a way to remember our founder Hannah G. Solomon and to continue to meet NCJW's mission. I know that you have received other funding requests; this time, I hope you will become a Hannah's Friend to help our Section. You will be recognized in our September Bulletin, and at the Installation of new officers and culminating 120th Anniversary event to be held on May 10, 2012 at Wabeek Country Club.

     I also want you to know about a very important event in April. Through a generous grant to JCADA from Jewish Women's Foundation, Jackson Katz, PHD, an anti-sexist male activist, educator, author and filmmaker is coming to town. He teaches that all men are important in reducing men’s violence against women.

     Finally, this is my last message to you as President of Greater Detroit Section. Not only have I been honored to serve as President for the past two years, but also my term has coincided with our Section's 120th Anniversary.
