HE CENTER'S News from the Atlanta Jewish Community Center, Inc Passport to Israel As we move into the last month of Spring the cres cendo of activities at the AJCC picks up dramatically. The halls and rooms of our buildings are filled with the sounds of music of rehearsals from our Cabaret night, the grinding noise of the buzz saw cutting the doors for the new Holocaust Museum, the hammering as volunteers finish the decorations for Beach Ball while committees meet in various areas planning Passport to Israel and the Israel Memorial Day ceremonies. It is the last great finale before we move into our camp season, and these sounds are replaced by the laughter of happy children in one of half a dozen camps and summer programs. Yom Hazikaron The entire community is invited to memorialize the Israel soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the survival of the State of Israel at the Yom Hazikaron (Israel Memor ial Day Ceremony), Monday, May 12, at 8 p.m. at the AJCC/Peachtree.
