Admin History/Bio
In 1997, the March for Israel reverted to its traditional name, the Walk for Israel. The slogan was "Steppin' Out for Israel," and the event took place on Sunday, 25 May. Its chair was Carole Sterling and, for the first time, there were three UJA staff coordinators: Silvia Astrug, Naomi Lasky, and Karen Worb. The festival was chaired by Marcy Kroach and Gilda Niman. The route was the same as in the past several years, beginning at the Promenade Shopping Centre and going south to the North York Centennial Arena, where the festival was held. In addition, a second route was introduced, a much shorter one that started later in the day to allow more people to participate; it led from the BJCC north to the arena on Finch Avenue.
Scope and Content
Sub-sub-series contains textual records and photographs from the 1997 Walk for Israel, the festival, and the learnathon. There is also a hat from the walk. The files are arranged by function in this order: walk oversight (the Cabinet Committee and chairs), recruitment of participants and staff volunteers, logistics, publicity and design, corporate sponsorship, finances, the walk event itself, the festival, related fundraisers, and follow-up.

Arrangement
The letters were originally with the records on volunteers for 1998, and have been re-dated to 1998 presumably because it was thought they could be used as models. However the authors and the information the letters contain relate to the 1997 Walk so they have been placed back with the rest of that year's records.
