Marty Trachtenbeg, Executive Vice President of the JCCT
said, "... this significant gift will help support ongoing and new
cultural efforts." He said, "... the loss of Frances is still deeply
felt by everyone at the Center."
Frances Stanton's long commitment to the advancement of
the arts both in the Jewish and broader community was evi-
denced by leadership roles with the Norfolk Civic ballet and the
Tidewater Winds. Her greatest accomplishments were at the
Jewish Committee where she assumed responsibilities for the
Tidewater Jewish Forum. Under her guidance, the Forum
gained a national reputation emulated by other JCC's through-
out North America. In recognition of her accomplishments, the
JCCT Board of Directors, dedicated the 1997-98 Tidewater
Jewish Forum to her memory.
Those wishing to contribute to the Frances Stanton Cultural
Arts Fund may call Jeannie Goldman or Marry Trachtenberg at

women and as Jews."
