"AH of our programs and services, from New Connections to Services for Seniors, from the Food Bank to counselling, have faced increased pressure as more and more people utilize them. In 1993, JFSA served 14 percent of the Jewish community, up 2 percent from 1992."
Felicia Folk, past president and chair of the nominating committee, moved an amendment, which was carried, that board terms be set for a standard two-year period. Previously, terms have varied between one-, two- and three-years.
Folk announced that
seven members of the community had accepted nominations to the board of directors: David Allman, Judi Angel, Richard Kohn, Herman Litsky, David Paperny, Shelley Rivkin and John Silver.
Current board members nominated for a two-year term were: Richard Ames, Bertie Beiser, Ellen Dearn-ley. Chuck Diamond, Larry Rossoff, Leyla Sacks and Diane Switzer.
Members remaining on the board to complete one year of their terms were: Felicia Folk, Fran Grun-berg, Evie Levine, Jack Lutsky and Heather Sirlin.

remain on the board to complete two years of their terms.
The nominees were all elected by acclamation. Members whose terms have ended are: Debby Freiman, Mark Gelfer, Reva Kalef, Alan Marchant, Alexander Rozenberg and Stanley Schwartz.
In the first of a series of program reports, Ellen Shapiro discussed Family Life Education.
One of the most popular programs, Shapiro reported, was a speaker series which started in the fall. Speakers addressed such issues as intermarriage, men and divorce and children and aggression, generating both revenue and interest in future addresses.
Marilie Sigal, one of the five counsellors on staff, related how the counselling program served 269 cases in 1993, with a reduced staff, up from 217 the previous year.
While most counselling clients are women between the ages of 20 and 50, Sigal noted that she and fellow counsellors have been seeing an increasing number of young women 16-25 and more couples.
Charlotte Katzen and Barbara Shumiatcher, coordinators of New Connections, noted that the program served 90 families in 1993, 60 of whom had come from Russia.
Katzen emphasized that the recent influx of immi-
grants meant that new host families in the community need to be recruited.
Shumiatcher related the accomplishments of the Sarajevo Project, reminding the rapt audience that the first family had arrived in Vancouver only a year before.
"In the last eight to 10 months, more families have fled Sarajevo and made their way here," she announced. "Today, there are nine families here, comprising 27 individuals."
Shumiatcher proudly pointed out that, while some of the former Sarajevans have found full- or part-time work, "every one has given volunteer time to the community in one way or another."
Gisi Levitt and Carol Oreck reported on the Services for Seniors program. Noting that seniors are often an invisible component of the local Jewish community, they pointed out that the program has 26 active cases.
Oreck said that volunteers .expended 1,820 hours over the past 17 months on the program, in cooperation with the National Council of Jewish Women.
In addition to Services for Seniors, volunteers play an important role in the JFSA. Debby Freiman recognized contributions made by more than 260 volunteers, all of whom received certificates of appreciation.
"In both direct and indirect ways, they make our community, as a whole, a better place in which to live."
Abe Rosenbaum, Betty Nitkin and Tobi Lenett were recipients of the 1993 Paula Lenga Award, presented by Corrin.
In making the presentation, the JFSA executive noted that the award was made for the "unreserved commitment" which the trio had shown in their hours of volunteer work with the nine Yugoslavian families.
After thanking JFSA for the award, Rosenbaum, Nitkin and Lenett also thanked fellow-volunteers Abiye Sheshu, Max Fomi-chev and Vladimir Grig-oriev.
"We share this award with you," they proclaimed.
Lutsky presented Community Service Awards to Lower Mainland synagogues for their work in the resettlement of the nine Yugoslavian families.
Temple Sholom, Beth Israel, Or Shalom, Eitz Chaim, Schara Tzedeck, Chabad, Beth Hamidrash, Beth Tikvah and Har El were all recognized.
