Dinner will be served at 7 p.m., with a video production celebrating JFCS’s history and 60 years of service to the Jewish community.

Rabbi Arthur Zuckerman will serve as emcee for the evening.

Honorary Chairperson Dr. Robert Mendlson and his late wife Lottie will be honored for their many years of dedication to both JFCS and the Jewish community of Portland. Several  past board presidents will be honored for their dedication and support.

This annual fund-raiser for JFCS will include “history, memories and promise for the future.”
