There is a new executive director of  Manoire Montefiore, the beautiful seniors residence at the corner of Cavendish Boulevard and Mackle Road in Côte Saint-Luc's District 2. Cindy Herson (pictured) was recently appointed to the position by Reseau Selection, which also operates Le Waldorf on Côte Saint-Luc Road and where Michael Goldwax has been in the man in charge for a number of years now.

Cindy holds two Master degrees (Social Work and  Jewish Studies).  She has worked for a number different community organizations, including the Jewish General Hospital Foundation, B’nai Brith Canada and Beth Israel Beth Aaron Congregation. When I stopped by to see her recently, she was busy having a speed bump installed in the building's sloped entrance way. Bravo Cindy! For years I have been getting complaints from Cindy's predecessors that cars were using this entrance as a shortcut to turn around. Since this is private property, I can only "advise." When Cindy called me soon after her appointment she raised the matter with me and in no time at all the speed bump was order and installed.
