Dear Camp Rising Sun Community,

This year marks the 95th anniversary of LAJF and Camp Rising Sun. Over our history, there has been a relay of leaders at the helm of this great foundation passing the baton from generation to generation. It has been an absolute honor serving as Executive Director of LAJF these last 10+ years and stewarding our mission to develop a lifelong commitment to responsible and compassionate leadership.

While my journey as Executive Director comes to a close, my relationship with this incredibly dynamic organization will continue.

And while I welcome your well wishes, please hold your goodbyes for later! I will continue serving in my role through the summer and will wrap up in September. This is an exciting time for the Foundation and I hope you join in on the festivities to celebrate our 95th Anniversary Reunion and Gala in New York City in October.

I look forward to continuing the important work of running this amazing organization. The board has begun the search process to identify the next Executive Director and I will support these efforts to ensure a smooth transition.

As a proud alumna myself, CRS has been such a hugely important and enriching part of my life for decades. I plan on taking part in the incredible community we have built for many years to come.

In gratitude,
Helene
