MEMORIAL MITZVAH GOES WIRELESS

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL (October 26, 2004) - Carl Lender, vice president of sales and marketing for CSI Associates, Inc., a telecommunications consulting company based in Ft. Lauderdale, tapped his resources & Internet savvy to help millions reach the world-famous Holocaust Memorial Sculpture Garden on Miami Beach, which remembers the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

Avi Mizrachi, director of the Holocaust Memorial, needed high-speed Internet access for the Web site http://www.holocaustmmb.org/ to expand the reach of this important historical landmark, but became frustrated at every turn.

"The phone company said DSL service was not available at our location and the cable company said our area was difficult reach, so it would cost $30,000 to get access," said Mizrachi. "We need connectivity, but not that badly."

In desperation, Mizrachi called an old friend, Carl Lender, with whom he had produced "Survivors Voices," a program on the Holocaust Memorial in conjunction with Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation and Charter Communications. Lender, coincidentally in the telecom business, called his friend Richard Troucchio, president of Wireless Oceans Technology, Inc., which provides free wireless Internet service to the Lincoln Road corridor, which is right near the memorial.

The three men put their expertise of telecommunication and their interest in philanthropy together and created an innovative solution. Truocchio will share the wireless signal from his own office at Wireless Oceans Technology on Lincoln Road, with the Holocaust Memorial which is only a few blocks away. The total cost from the original $30,000 estimate? $250!

"Carl and his dad Murray of Lender's Bagel fame are longtime friends of the Holocaust Memorial," said Mizrachi. "When he brought Richard from Wireless Oceans Technology to the Memorial, he was visibly moved.

"I knew how important it was to provide worldwide access to the Memorial via the Internet," said Troucchio. "I'm glad we were able to connect the Holocaust Memorial through our company and we also chose to donate the monthly service fee as well."

The Holocaust Memorial Sculpture Garden on Miami Beach is located at 1933-1945 Meridian Avenue on Miami Beach. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and can now it can be visited at http://www.holocaustmmb.org/. For more information, call 305-538-1663.
