UJA CAMPAIGN 2011 UJA CAMPAIGN 2011
Calgary is a wonderful place to be . . . and a wonderful place to be Jewish.
We are talented individuals who know that the greatest success (and the most fun) comes from working together.
We give of our time.
We give of our money.
We never say no.
We take care of our community.
And we do our part to make the world a better place.
Being a leader means giving.
Young Leadership.
We give.
We lead.
By giving a meaningful gift to the United Jewish Appeal, you are joining fellow Jews in helping those in need in Calgary, Israel and around the world. Here are some examples of how a little generosity can go a long way.

YLD UJA CAMPAIGN YLD UJA CAMPAIGN
Hi, my name is Jordan Balaban, this year's Chair for the YLD UJA Campaign. I want to personally thank all of YLD for opening up their hearts, opening up their wallets and giving their time to the 2010 UJA Campaign. We had a very successful campaign and the continued improvement year over year is tremendous. We should all be very proud of what we have accomplished and we should be excited to know that we will all be counted on once again in 2011.
Todah Rabah,
Jordan
