VISITING RESCUERS IN BUDAPEST
In July, several Alfred Lerner Fellows, Steven Field, M.D., JFR Board Member, and Stanlee Stahl, JFR Executive Vice President, had the opportunity to make several home visits to rescuers in Budapest, Hungary. In our August 2019 e-newsletter, we featured Aunt Katy, one of the rescuers we visited in Budapest. In this month’s e-newsletter, we are featuring sisters, Maria and Zsuzsa Farkas, whom we also visited in Budapest. While we were there, Dr. Field and Maria’s husband, a retired physician, even discussed some medical cases.
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS AND VISITORS
If your travel takes you to northern New Jersey, please come and visit! For our Lerner Fellow in the northern part of New Jersey, we would love to have you visit and perhaps volunteer if you have the time. We are right off of Route 280 and a few minutes from the Garden State Parkway. There is lots of free parking at our building.
PROBLEMS WITH OUR TELPEHONE NUMBER
We are having problems with our telephone number. If you dial 1-212-727-9955 and you receive a message saying that the number is no longer working – we are here and the number does work, just not for everyone. So please dial 1-212-727-2383.
WRITE A SHORT ARTILCE FOR THE ALFRED LERNER ENEWSLETTER
