By Mildred Devins, Adult Leisure Chairperson Published in the Shaarey Zedek Shofar in March 2006
We are mourning the passing of Lona Shafer, at the time the Shofar is going into production. Lona was the Executive Director of Shaarey Zedek when the Adult Leisure Program was born. She and I worked together to develop the program that still thrives today, almost 30 years later. Lona always supported my efforts and believed very strongly in the Synagogue’s participation in the development of a seniors’ program. Even after she resigned from her position as Executive Director, her interest continued. Lona supported our efforts with generous donations through the years. She was a special person, quietly making her contribution for a better world. We will miss her.

The winter months are always a problem for transportation to and from our Adult Leisure Programs. I was especially grateful to Ruth Thompson, who changed the day of her cleaning lady (the ultimate sacrifice) to help me out. Sandy Tapper, a former Executive Director of Shaarey Zedek, also came to my rescue (in between classes). Todah rabah to them both.
If you would like to become a volunteer driver for the Adult Leisure Program, please call the Synagogue office at 452 3711 x453. We sure would appreciate some other angels to the rescue.
