Hadasseh to celebrate anniversary Nonagenarian Shirley Jaeger is one of Hadassah’s newest Life members. Even though she has been an annual member for more than 40 years, she decided to upgrade to Life membership when she saw an ad for the Hadassah Centennial Life Membership special in January. In celebration of Hadassah’s upcoming 100th anniversary in 2012, all Life memberships, including Child and Associate memberships, are available for the only $100 through Dec. 31. Life membership enrollment fees are normally $360, so since annual membership fees are $36 per year, a Centennial Life membership offers a tremendous value to both annual members and those interested in joining for the first time. It also makes a meaningful gift to children and grandchildren. Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, is a volunteer women’s organization whose members are motivated and inspired to strengthen their partnership with Israel, ensure Jewish continuity, and realize their potential as a dynamic force in American society. Jaeger, who turned 91 in May, is a native Cincinnatian who has lived in the

THANKS TO GAYNA BASSIN

Sharon Casper, Hadassah Cincinnati chapter Co-president, presents a “Woman of Valor” Hadassah Certificate to Shirley Jaeger in honor of her new Centennial Life Membership. Regency Tower on Madison Road since 1999. Her mother, who was the youngest of 10 children, was also born and raised in Cincinnati. Jaeger is a graduate of Walnut Hills High School and served 22 months in the SPARS Coast Guard from 1944 to 1946. She was stationed in Palm Beach, FL., for boot camp and served in San Francisco the rest of the time. Like other women’s reserves such as the Women’s Army Corps and the WAVES, SPARS was cre-

ated to free men from stateside service in order to fight overseas. SPARS is a contraction of the Coast Guard motto “Semper Paratus,” and its English translation, “Always Ready.” After her Coast Guard service, Jaeger returned to Cincinnati and worked in hematology at Jewish Hospital on Burnet Avenue. In 1951, she moved to Indianapolis, where she worked in the blood bank at Methodist Hospital. She joined Hadassah there and was also active in the National Council of Jew-

ish Women. After she retired in 1979, she returned to Cincinnati and transferred to the Lilah group of Cincinnati Chapter of Hadassah. She has been to Israel twice, once with a threeweek Elderhostel (now renamed Road Scholars) program and later as a volunteer on a kibbutz for two and a half weeks. She regrets that she never was able to visit Hadassah Hospital, but a plaque on her living room wall proudly displays the famous stained glass windows that Marc Chagall created for the Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah University Medical Center at Ein Kerem. Jaeger is a member of Wise Temple and has many friends in Cincinnati. Her only surviving family members live in Knoxville, TN. In March, Cincinnati Chapter of Hadassah copresident Sharon Casper and Gayna Bassin, Hadassah publicity chair, visited Jaeger and presented her with a beautiful “Woman of Valor” Hadassah Certificate in honor of her new Centennial Life Membership. Jaeger told them that she also made Hadassah a beneficiary in her will. They enjoyed talking with her and seeing some of
