Park. In 1960 she entered San Diego State University where she received
her teaching credentials. She taught in the San Diego City Schools and in
1966 began a new career as public relations director of Pacific College of
Medical and Dental Assistants. She retired in 1984. Weiss held many
executive board positions for Tifereth Israel Sisterhood. She was program
chair for many years, corresponding secretary, Ways and Means chair and then
president of the sisterhood in 1970. She is currently one of three
presidents of the presidium of the sisterhood. The presentation was made by
Belle Kleinberg, who was last year's recipient of the award.
