- Admin History/Bio
- The Israel Funwalk '99, "Let's Step Together," was held on Sunday, 30 May 1999. It was chaired by Harvey Cooperberg, Fran Grundman, and Corey Mandell. The UJA staff person was Naomi Cohen. Similar to 1998, the walk started from Nathan Phillips Square, this year with a big kickoff carnival there. The route led through Old Jewish Toronto, through three checkpoints, to the entrance of Ontario Place, where participants could continue on to the festival. For the first time, there was also a shorter Bub 'n' Zaid-a-thon to encourage multi-generation families to walk together. More than five hundred volunteers and approximately fifteen thousand people participated in the "Funwalk '99," making it the largest turnout the Walk for Israel had ever had.

- Notes
- Lists of recent graduates with their phone numbers were culled from this file.
- Much of the correspondence concerns the conflict in scheduling the Walk on a Sunday when supplementary schools have their classes and students must miss either school or the Walk. The frustration of school principals leads some to refuse to allow any promotion of the Walk in their school.
