iI Fred M. Butzel Memorial Award
for Distinguished Community Service
In keeping with the model of community
service that characterized the life and work
of Fred M. Butzel, this year's Butzel Award
goes to George M. (Mike) Zeltzer.
Every area of Jewish life interests our
awardee. As president of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation, he served in the organiza-
tion's top volunteer position—and then
worked with the professional staff as execu-
tive vice-president and endowment director.
A lay leader once again, he currently chairs
the Endowment Committee.
