Jewish Family Services annual gala June 3
‘Small Plates, High Spirits & All That Jazz’ is the name of Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley’s fundraising event scheduled for Sunday, June 3 at Villa Ragusa in downtown Campbell.
According to Thelma Ramm, co-chair of the event with Sandy Silver, the
event name sums up the evening. “Small Plates represents food prepared
and presented by a number of local chefs, each paired with a purveyor
of high spirits poured by a vintner, all accompanied by a Jazz Combo providing
All That Jazz.
“Serving as Master of Ceremony for the evening,” adds Silver,
“will be Joey Altman, Chef and host of Bay Café, a half-hour
Bay Area food magazine show. Along with a silent auction, the event will
also feature a live auction led by Larry Gerston, professor of political
science at San Jose State University and author of ten books.”
“Proceeds raised from this event will help us offer support to our
Project N.O.A.H. (No One Abandoned Here) programs, which provides various
services to low-income individuals, and for which there has not previously
been a funding source available,” says Mindy Berkowitz, Jewish Family
Services of Silicon Valley (JFSSV) executive director. “In addition,
the event will continue to bring new friends and supporters into our JFS
family.”
“Besides raising money to support the work of JFS,” says Ramm,
“our goal is to present an event that is enjoyable and fun, entertaining
and informational, as well as socially and financially successful.”
JFSSV provides a wide range of quality human services to those in need
within the community and reflects the spirit of tikkum olam, repairing
the world. For additional information contact the JFSSV office at (408)
