People say about us...
Dear Iris and Igal,
On behalf of Maccabi USA, please accept my sincerest thanks for all of your hard work organizing our Mission and Team programs, making travel arrangements for the entire US Delegation and for being incredible assets to our leadership team in Buenos Aires. Our special events- the Boat Cruise, Estancia Day and the tours were outstanding. The Tango Dinner was spectacular as was the cocktail party with Los Tenores. Gracias for your professionalism, your impeccable good taste, your attention to the smallest detail and your dedication and commitment to providing the Mission and Team USA with the best possible Pan Am experience. Each of you played a critical and vital role in the success of this project.
Thanks to the incredible leadership of Phyllis, we assembled an outstanding group of leadership, managers and staff to ensure that the needs of our athletes and supporters were attended to. You helped us deal with each situation in a professional and reassuring manner, from the normal issues associated with the Pan Am Games to the very difficult situations we faced relating to transportation and obtaining timely information about competition schedules. Both of you should be awarded a personal gold medal for working long hours in sometimes trying conditions for the benefit of our athletes and Missionaries.
Look back with pride on what we accomplished and how well you helped us deal with the hourly challenges we faced. The success of Pan Am is not measured by the size of the Team USA, the American Delegation or by the number of medals won, but rather by the total athletic, cultural and Jewish experience. In spite of the difficulties we faced, the e mails we are receiving indicate that the overwhelming majority of our Team and Mission members returned from Buenos Aires with new friends and great memories, a renewed sense of Jewish identity and pride, and with a stronger connection to Israel and to the Jewish People.
More significantly, in these troubled times for Jews, together we helped send a powerful message that the best, the brightest, the strongest and the most physically adept of the Jewish people are ready to stand up and join together in a display of Jewish strength and unity.
Thank you for all you have done- you have been a magnificent Team. I cherish your friendship and I look forward to sharing the 18th Maccabiah in 2009 and future international Maccabi events with you.
With warmest Maccabi Regards.
-Toni Wortman, President,Maccabi USA Sports for Israel
Susan,
I just want you to know that this is a team effort! We have been a great team for 5 and a half years, and we are going to continue to succeed together!
You have done an amazing job with the flights and dealing with all the potential Mission people and I want you to know how much I and Maccabi USA appreciate the hard work and time you have put in. This is not an easy task, and as usual we have exceeded our expected numbers.
-Ami Monson, Program Director - Maccabi USA
Hi Donna,
I am so grateful to you for working this out. Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to your manager as well. I hope, one day, to be able to plan a trip to Israel through Gil Travel. I have always heard and read about the trips Gil Travel plans, and now I know that Gil also has tremendous staff, as yourself, and conducts its business with the utmost integrity and sincerity.
Again, my thanks and appreciation for facilitating this.
-Laurie Albert
