As we close the year, we remember those that we’ve lost. Wendell A. Smith and Charles Lavine had a tremendous impact on the organization and will never be forgotten. Wendell founded the New Jersey chapter of CAI in 1978 and served as the chapter president for three years. Charles served on the CAI-NJ Board of Directors for six years and was a strong advocate for CAI and the work of the Legislative Action Committee. Sadly, there were also many members that were lost this year. Let us hold their memories dearly. “We have a whole new year ahead of us and wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all be a little gentler with each other, a little more loving, and have a little more empathy…” — Judy Garland May this beautiful holiday season fill your heart with love, your home with joy, and your life with laughter. Greetings to our CAI-NJ family! n
