Mr <yC M. Brodkey is Women's Chairman of Philanthropies Arthur II. Goldstein, prominent business' executive and community leader, was elected president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, at the organization's annual meeting at the Jewish Community Center, on Sunday, January 6.

To be able to serve when such happy and exciting events are taking place, doubles that privilege.
