Development News

Last Wednesday as part of our regular minyan series, the Cardin community had the privilege of hearing Lee Hendler speak about philanthropy and why it is a Jewish imperative. I am glad that I was able to take a break from planning the Vision in Action celebration honoring Marlene and Stuart Greenebaum, to hear some inspirational words of Torah. Her message to the students about helping others because it is the right thing to do, stimulated thoughtful questions and conversations. It was wonderful to watch as the students absorbed her spirited words describing her experiences as a philanthropist growing up in a non-observant Jewish family; a family who took great personal joy in helping others. As we educate the next generation of leaders for our community, it is my hope that they internalize and appreciate the kind of exchange that took place and that they too consider the needs of others now and in the future.

Vision in Action

Dewitt Jones is a renowned National Geographic photographer whose work reflects his enormous skill. His patience in capturing the world around him is result of goal-setting and refusal to settle for less than the best shot. He has said” It is passion that gives us the energy we need to creatively tackle the challenges before us. When we couple passion with solid techniques and craftsmanship, we can make our vision come to life.”

In the Cardin development world, our vision is clear, our techniques are proven, and we work consistently to maintain the energy needed to pursue that vision. Our inaugural Vision in Action dinner, honoring Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum for their commitment to our school takes place on Wednesday, October 21. We are hoping that you will join us as we continue to bring our own vision to the forefront in the Baltimore community.
