KEREN KAYEMETH LEISRAE1 President's Column by Eli A. Scherr e Jewish National Fund takes great pleasure in congratulating Edythe tackier Mulivor on her be- ing named this year's recipient of the JNF Keter Shem Toy - Crown of Good Name Award. On Tuesday, June 21, 1994, Edythe Jackier Mulivor will be honored with a testimonial dinner at Con- gregation Shaai-ey Zedek at which she will be presented with the award. The Detroit Community is well aware of Edythe's involvement with and contribution to Jewish Chari- ties over the years. She has been one of a handful of people whose name is recognized by virtually the entire Detroit Jewish com- munity for her leadership and devotion to Jewish organizations. This is our opportunity to express our thanks to this outstanding Jewish leader. The dinner will culminate this year's Operation Promised Land Campaign. Funds raised will be allocated to JNF's urgently needed water reservoir development program at Kibbutz Neve Ur. As I have noted in previous columns, not only are Israel's do- mestic needs great, it is the opinion of many experts that the issue of peace in the Middle East will ultimately be decided over the availability of water. JNF and the State of Israel have geared up for a three-pronged program to expand water availability nationwide. Plans call for purifying and re-cycling an additional 100 million cubic meters of brackish water, and constructing a new system of dams and wa- ter reservoirs to capture at least 100 million cubic meters of floodwater. The first 14 of these facilities have been completed. They have proved their ability to make a major difference in solving the potential water crisis. JNF has developed proven techniques which will be of great help to the economy and life of Israel's people and has also developed technology which is exportable inter- nationally. June 21, 1994 provides us each with the opportunity to achieve two positive results with one act. Your attendance and financial support at the Edythe tackier Mulivor dinner will honor a most worthy honoree and will support the vital work of the Jewish Na- tional Fund.
