NTERS SPOT© from the Atlanta Jewish Community Center, Inc. Action In Cobb County Recently the AJCC held a public forum at Etz Chaim Synagogue to discuss the presence of a Center Facility in the Northwest suburbs. We were delighted to see the over 300 people who showed up, Our leadership was energized by the enthusi asm of those in attendance. Two themes were heard throughout the evening; first that there will be a Center in the area although the exact location was still being explored; secondly, that both the Center and the Federation leadership made it clear to the audience that the creation of a Center and its continuing support was in the hands of the people living in the Northwest area. Based on the results of that evening the Center's leadership commitment to move ahead was reinforced. So was the realization that a Center can only be built and maintained with the active and dedicated leadership from the Jewish community in Cobb, Roswell and Alpharetta. Both of those ingredients seemed to be in place. We’re off to a good start. Rand Hopkins Returns 1 he 1 heater Department of the AJCC welcomes Rand Hopkins back to our fold, following his unprecedented success at Israel EXPO r 85 with his original work “THE TOP TEN."
