Chairman’s Message

 

Chairman’s Message

I made aliya from London in 2008. I became Chairman of the organization in 2012 and completed my term in 2016. I was on the Executive of Netanya AACI continuously from 2010 until 2022, in the various roles – Vice Chair, Treasurer and Financial Secretary.

When Melissa Dubinsky and Paulette Woolf completed their four-year term as Co-Chairs in 2024, I was elected once again as Chairman.

We have a wonderful organization, a caring community centre for English speakers, and we cater to all the needs of the English-speaking community. One of our key facilities is the Library, with over 7,000 books. This is the most used department in Netanya AACI. We also have a mobile library for those members who can no longer visit the building.

We put on lectures, musical events, various chugim, exercise classes and tiyulim. We have a Counsellor who provides excellent advice to our
members on a range of topics related to living in Israel.

We send out a weekly eNews with upcoming events, and we publish a magazine on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, depending on the time of the year.

We also have an excellent website where you will find, and be able to book for, listings for programs, lectures, trips, exercise classes, social
activities and much more.

Netanya AACI offers resources for both long-time members and new Olim, including those considering making Netanya their home.

So, the next time you’re in the area, I encourage you to stop in and visit with us.  We’ll give you a cup of tea, introduce you to our wonderful volunteers and hopefully convince you to become involved with our
warm community.
