This week I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr Melinda Boone, the new superintendent of schools for Worcester at a meeting arranged by us to introduce Dr Boone to the Worcester Jewish community. JFCM president Howard Fixler and Community Relations Council chair Carol Goodman Kaufman accompanied me to the meeting. We delivered a Jewish holiday calendar to her as well as informing her of Torathon and our young emissary program, among other topics. The following day we met with the T&G: Publisher Bruce Gaultney, Editor of the Editorial Pages, Chris Sinacola and Editor Leah M Lamson. We had a warm and friendly visit with them and discussed many issues.
We left both meetings knowing that we have friends at the school board and the T&G, and comfortable in the knowledge that we all care about Worcester and making it better.
