Vickie.

For nearly a decade, Kadima has run smoothly primarily because of the efforts of our office manager, Vickie Barocas. Vickie is the most efficient person I have ever met. She is organized, knowledgeable, and supremely talented. Yet, she is purely a "back of the house" person. Few parents or members of our community know what she does or how good at it she is.

Most importantly, Vickie is one of the nicest people on the planet. She not only manages Kadima efficiently, she does it nicely, professionally, and with care. She always wants to help everyone else.

Now she needs our help. Last week, Vickie became seriously ill.

Please keep her in your prayers. Her Hebrew name is Chaya bat Kallah.
