A NOTE FORM THE NEW CHAIR

Hi everybody

Thank you for having me on board as chairperson of the SSSFF!

Please contact me for Ryan's Chairman's Report for the 79th AGM. Thank you Ryan for your wonderful work as Chairman.

I think the SSSFF is really quite incredible. We are privileged to be part of this unique family unit, and I love telling people about it. My brief explanation is “my great-great-grandparents, Selig & Sarah Saffer, had 13 kids, 12 of whom reproduced. Those 12 children started the SSSFF so that their families could see each other and their grandparents regularly, and so that the siblings could give each other financial support where needed.” How do you describe it?

In the coming year, the SSSFF’s 80th year, we’ll have the usual annual events such as the winter picnic, the sukkah party and the summer picnic. We’ll also arrange other talks and events, and will have the 80th anniversary celebration.

If you have any suggestions for the family or for events during the year, please let us know! There have already been some good ideas put forward on how to make sure we know who is who, and avoid that awkwardness we have probably all experienced at the meetings, where you don’t quite know how a person fits in, but it feels too late to ask outright. We would also love suggestions on how to get the young-adult generation of the family to want to come to more meetings. We’ve included pictures & contact details of Aliza (Chief Operating Officer), Graeme (Treasurer) and myself in this email, so you know who to contact if you want to discuss anything. Verna will continue to arrange gifts, Sarit will run MyHeritage site, and Neil and Bev will continue as supporting committee members.

I hope that the year ahead will keep the family strong, bring in some more cousins to the meetings, and be positive and interesting for all!
