A
s the Jewish Com-
munity Center's new
assistant director,
Leah Ann Kleinfeldt hopes
to ease the center's growing
pains
Kleinfeldt, 37, spent five
years as assistant director at
the Memphis Jewish Com-
munity Center. In August,
she will join assistant direc-
tors Marty Oliff and Bruce
Landgarten at the Detroit
center.
Mort Plotnick, JCC exec-
utive director, said
Kleinfeldt was needed be-
cause of the increasing
workload.
"We have, over the years,
expanded the programs and
resources of this agency to a
point where it is important
to have the kind of ad-
ministrative staff to keep a
place like this running,"
Plotnick said. "She can help
us continue growing in for-
ward ways. She has good
people skills, strong pro-
gramming skills and strong
administrative skills."
Kleinfeldt's first job will
be getting acquainted with
her new home.
"Initially her job is to
learn and understand the
agency," Plotnick said. "She
will be involved in all
aspects of the JCC and then
her job will get more
specific."
Kleinfeldt said, "In Mem-
phis, I supervised all
departments. I will work any
place I'm needed. There is
not an area that I can say,
`Oh gosh, do I have to do
that?' I've done everything
from seniors to child devel-
opment to physical edu-
cation."
One area she hasn't had
much practice with is fund
raising. The Memphis Jew-
ish Welfare Federation pro-
vided most of the community
center's funds, Kleinfeldt
said.
"Working on fund raising
will be an exciting
challenge. There is not a
part of the Center that I
don't want to learn," she
said. "I won't feel comfor-
table unless I know every-
thing about the Center."
Kleinfeldt knows the lear-
