TELFED IN EILAT

Maish Isaacson the chairman of Telfed, and Jocelyn, attended a gathering of Southern Africans at a very enjoyable get-together in Eilat.

As we have come to expect - Fonda Dubb the Chairperson of the local Telfed committee organized the event and prepared a super spread. Many thanks to Fonda and her committee for their efforts despite the fact that Fonda is suffering with pains in her leg.

Even though many locals sent in apologies we were grateful to all who attended in particular Felicia Zausmer from Yotvata who came in especially for the evening.

Karin and Yoram Kaplan said goodbye, leaving Eilat after 46 years to live in Kibbutz Lehavot Habashan in the Galil. Amongst other activities, Yoram started coaching tennis in 1969 in Eilat, pioneering in this field in Eilat.

Maish congratulated Dr. Meyer Wisnovitz on becoming the first S. African in Eilat to be elected to the City Council and chairman of the committee of health and environment.

Maish also made a presentation to Shelly Sheer on achieving an award from the Israeli Board of Education for her achievements as a dancing teacher in Eilat.

All in all it was a great success and we hope to have a further get-together on the beach towards the end of March.
