Ladies Who Lunch

On May 3, more than 500 women are expected to attend JAFCO's Mother's Day Luncheon at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton. The event begins with a shopping boutique, followed by a luncheon program. Robin Bresky is serving as the event's chair, and Marci Langley and Christine Miller will be recognized as honorary chairs for their dedication to JAFCO. Elaine Friedman is this year's grand benefactor.

Shirley Weisman will be presented with the Woman of the Year award for her continuing dedication and support of children in need. She has worked tirelessly, raising funds for Jewish organizations throughout Florida for many years. Weisman represents the soul and essence of JAFCO. Her philanthropic connection with JAFCO's mission is based on personal experience as well as a deep love and sense of compassion for children.

"Shirley Weisman is a strong and inspirational leader in the community," says Sarah Franco, executive director of JAFCO. "Her warmth, love and support have directly impacted the lives of our children for many years."

Adds Weisman: "It has been an incredible privilege to support this wonderful organization. I am truly honored and frankly overwhelmed to have been named Woman of the Year. I feel so lucky to be a part of this successful fundraising event that has grown every year."

In addition to the shopping boutique, guests will be able to participate in both live and silent auctions. Baer's Furniture is the event sponsor, and The Boca Raton Observer is the exclusive magazine sponsor. O
