Financial information about Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, Inc. and a copy of its license are available from the North Carolina Secretary of State, solicitation licensing section at 1- 888-830-4889. The license is not an endorsement by the State. Highlights Presort First Class U.S. Postage PAID Charlotte, NC Permit No. 3243 Charlotte Chapter of Hadassah 323 Sardis Pointe Rd., Matthews, NC 28105 PRESIDENT: Bunny Bramson Hadassah Highlights is published by the Charlotte Chapter of Hadassah, The Women’s Zionist Organi- zation of America, Inc., for its membership. Next Highlights Deadline August 22 American Affairs Committee In November of this year, critical legislative seats must be filled and key issues will be on the ballot in our state and local communities. We will be electing a President, the full U.S. House of Representatives, one-third of the U.S. Sen- ate, eleven state governors, and many other local officials. With so much at stake, it is crucial that we reinvigorate our efforts to engage people in the democratic process by helping them make informed decisions in the election and by encour- aging participation in meaningful civic action. With these goals in mind, the National American Affairs/Domestic Policy Department has launched Hadassah’s VOICE – Voter Impact through Community Education, a nonpartisan election-year campaign that challenges every Hadassah unit in the country to lead its community in a nonpartisan activity that educates voters on the electoral process and key issues – Israel, Iran, healthcare and energy and the environment. In case you haven’t already heard, Hadassah’s VOICE has its very own page on Facebook. The page provides an open forum for you to share ideas for and experiences with VOICE activities. To join, go to www.facebook.com, and sign up as a member. Once you are logged in as a member, search under the "Groups" function for "Hadassah’s VOICE" and you will be able to join the group. The Charlotte Chapter has a new American Affairs Committee Chairperson, Sharon Lachow- Blumberg. Sharon recently relocated here from New York and is eager to re-energize our American Affairs activities. If you are interested in working on this committee or re- quire additional information, please feel free to contact Sharon di- rectly, 704-910-0115, or [email protected].
