Stanley and Hope Adelstein

Stanley Adelstein has been attending City Club forums since 1941. He now attends regularly with his wife Hope, and is one of the City Club's leaders in terms of funding an annual forum on the environment.

The Adelsteins are active in many areas and with many organizations throughout the greater Cleveland community and beyond. They believe in giving as a way of life, and enjoy the learning experiences that result, as well as the ability to increase opportunities for others.

"I think giving was something that my parents did so well. My father, though he lost his pharmacy during the Depression years, always spent time giving and helping. We now support a wide variety of organizations, [with] our giving usually following an activity that we're involved with."
