Please join us as we honor your friend and ours, Fred Klein, for his many achievements and outstanding contributions to the community.
Fred is a devoted husband, loving father, attentive grandfather, good neighbor, and energetic labor and employment attorney. Fred created the Gotham Mentoring Network, better known as Freds list. He also serves as Treasurer of the Friar’s Club and is an active member of Syracuse Universitys Chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.
One of Freds many passions is the Leadership & Public Service High School a New York City public school serving the educational needs of the inner city and minority students. Since its inception in 1993, Fred has served as founder and fund-raising chairman of the Friends of Leadership which serves as an advisory board responding to the needs of the school, raising funds and publicizing its students accomplishments. His determination has helped to make the “Friends” program the largest and most successful of its kind in New York City, applauded by Mayor Michael Bloomberg , Schools’ Chancellor Joel Klein and Syracuse University’s Chancellor, Nancy Cantor, who referred to the “Friends” as the “Soul of Syracuse”.
On June 3, we will hold a reception to honor Fred, Dick Adelman and Dr. Lonnie Morrison for their dedication to the Friends of Leadership. We are creating a souvenir journal so that all of those who would like to be included in honoring them can participate. The funds we raise together will benefit the work of the Friends in support of the students of the Leadership & Public Service High School.
After the benefit, we will publish the journal, including the names of all of the contributors, so that Fred will be able to see how much we appreciate his extraordinary leadership contributions.
