GALA HOST 2017
“A Bubbly Evening” for JFCS
On February 25th I had the privilege of hosting the 2017 Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) gala. The night was billed as “A Bubbly Evening,” and it was nothing short of spectacular! Attendees were invited to partake in dinner, dancing and a silent auction as we honored four past board presidents: Daniel Wagner (2013-2015), Joyce Kalstein (2011-2013), Norma Susswein Saks (2009-2011) and Jeri Schaefer (2007-2009).
The corporate honoree of the evening was New Jersey’s own, Bai Brands which has seen tremendous growth in just a short amount of time. JFCS 2017 honored Bai’s own Ben and Danna Weiss, along with Pat and Ray Schlafer. The first batch of Bai was brewed only 8 years ago in Hamilton, NJ, and is now available in stores nationwide. Bai Brands’ core values insist upon being unwavering challengers, impassioned explorers uninhibited dreamers, making them an extremely deserving honoree for this event.
As a member of the Gala Committee and the MC of the evening, I was honored to also recognize the “Senior Services” team for their tireless contributions to the success of the organization as well. This was an amazing event, and one that I will never forget. To learn more about what the JFCS has to offer, visit
