Volunteer of the Year Award :

Nominations open to the community

Award to be presented at Federation Annual Meeting

The Federation is asking for nomination from the community for the Volunteer of the Year Award. We are looking for candidates who have served the goals of Federation and/or dedicated their time to volunteer in one or more Federation committees or the Community Campaign. Deadline is November 20th and the winner will be selected by the Federation Board at the next Board meeting. Send nominations, including the name of your nominee and a short paragraph explaining the reasons you believe the person is a good candidate for the award, to director@jewishdutchess.org

Jewish Federation changes logo

New logo, new National Name

The Jewish Federation of Dutchess County has now a new logo. Our National Association, United Jewish Communities will formally change its name to "The Jewish Federations of North America", and as part of this effort they developed a new logo that they asked local communities to adopt it by changing the text appropriately. The Board of Directors approved the change on October 27th. This change will make it easier to utilize marketing materials developed in other communities and by the national association as well as making the "Federation brand" more recognizable for newcomers.

Laugher and Schmoozing at
Federation Thank you event

Over 140 members of the Jewish community came to listen to the shtik by Lampert and Davies...and to share a good time with old and new friends. See the photos here.
