WLACC Shofar Awards Announced

The Shofar Award of the National Jewish Committee on Scouting, granted through the local council's Jewish Committee on Scouting, recognizes adults for outstanding service in behalf of Jewish youth in the program of the Boy Scouts of America.

The Shofar Award Subcommittee of the Western Los Angeles County Council Jewish Committee on Scouting (WLACC-JCOS) has selected eight adult volunteers this year to receive the Shofar Award, based upon written nominations submitted in their behalf and other information generally available to the subcommittee.

This year, the Shofar Award designees are:

Name	Position	Unit	District
Michael Doland	Assistant Cubmaster	Pack 233	Crescent Bay
Allison Friedman	Troop Committee Chair	Troop 613	Cahuenga
Max Goldberg	District Chairman		Cahuenga
Jean Kline	Troop Committee Chair	Troop 36	Cahuenga
Yitzchok Klutch	Scoutmaster	Troop 613	Cahuenga
Glenn Roeder	Assistant Scoutmaster	Troop 360	Crescent Bay
Claudio Sapir	Assistant Scoutmaster	Troop 36	Cahuenga
Rich Sieger	Cubmaster	Pack 613	Cahuenga

Each of them, in his or her own way, has contributed to the excellence of Jewish Scouting in the Western Los Angeles County Council: in pursuit of new chartered organizations, in sustaining and enriching existing Jewish units, in blending Jewish Scouting into non-Jewish units, in providing religious emblem opportunities to Scouts, in extending Sunday programming regionally to Scouts unable to attend on Saturdays, in support of annual Kinnusim of the WLACC-JCOS, and in so many other ways.

Yasher Koach ("job well done") and Mazel Tov to these fine Scouters.

Yours in Scouting,
