Jack Freedman, AJCC Presi dent, told The Southern Israelite Tuesday, “It is not an acceptable contract.” He did not indicate whether it was the price or other factors which were at issue. This week’s Business Monday section of the Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution reported $22 million had been offered by an unidentified purchaser for a high- rise residential complex. The re port also said the AJCC board would vote on the offer this week. Barrie Segall, AJCC executive director, said that report was erroneous. Although final deci sions on Center action would rest with the board, any such offer would have to first have the recommendation of the AJCC’s lawyers and the executive commit tee, with input from community planning agencies. Segall said that the Center has long been aware that changing community needs would eventu ally bring about a change in requirements for the Center’s mid town location. However, he added, “We are well aware of the strong sentiment to remain in the area and have no plans to abandon our urban presence.” What has been discussed in long-range planning is that many activities which have been focused at the Peachtree location would be more realistically relocated to an expanded Zaban Center and the presently planned East Cobb branch. Shifting populations, con firmed by last year’s demographic study of the Jewish community, indicate specifically that most users of such facilities as the ball fields, tennis courts and gymnasi ums live to the north of the city. Segall foresees that an urban building, perhaps half the size of the present Peachtree building- on much smaller grounds—would better serve the senior adult and adult services programs, fitness centers and provide ample meeting rooms and auditorium. An eventual sale of the valuable Peachtree Road land would go a long way toward funding an appropriate, convenient Center in the general area of the present midtown facility, adding 60-to 80,000 square feet at Zaban and getting the Cobb County branch off the ground. Jewish culture forums set “Jewish Renewal in the Post- Modern World” will be the topic of a five-part public symposium to be held in Atlanta in May and June. The program, sponsored by the Atlanta Jewish Federation, is part of a national celebration of the 25th anniversary of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture. Atlanta is one of five cities chosen to host regional symposia on top ics of major importance to the understanding of the history, development and potential direc tions of Jewish culture in America. All five symposia will address the central theme of “Creativity and Continuity: Jewish Culture in America.” The program will bring a series of well-known and respected speakers to Atlanta, according to Edward Elson, chairman of the Atlanta Symposium. The topics and speakers for the series are being provided by the National Foundation of Jewish Culture. tBEADAZZLES ...Designed & Made By YOU! ... FINDINGS ... FASHION JEWELRY ...
