Just shy of 17 years in Accounts Receivable at the Alper JCC, Elena Schwartz has decided to retire. Her quiet efficiency and talent cannot be duplicated. She worked in the administration building, always in her office and seldom seen by the public, but always there to lend a hand. We thank Elena for all her years of service.
Please join us in wishing Elena and her husband Ira an enjoyable and relaxing retirement. She has certainly earned it!
