Everyone knows we must invest time and resources into what matters most. Homeowners make improvements to houses and yards to ensure property values remain high. Government officials and taxpayers invest in schools, roads, parks, libraries, and other services to maintain a high quality of life for residents. And as Jews, it is essential for us to invest in programs and services that strengthen our community. In supporting the institutions that foster and advance our deepest priorities, we are ensuring a solid foundation for future generations of Jewish families here in Long Beach and elsewhere.
Please join women from throughout our community in making an investment on behalf of yourself and your family by attending the 2023 Arlene Solomon Visions dinner on Thursday, May 18, in the Lipeles Auditorium of the Alpert Jewish Community Center on the Weinberg Jewish Long Beach Campus. A reception will begin at 5:30 p.m. and a delicious kosher dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m.
At Visions, the women of our community come together to celebrate our community’s strength and resilience. We relish our deep friendships, as well as new acquaintances. And we affirm our pride, passion, and conviction for improving the world while growing our story and building a stronger community for our families and ourselves.
This year, Jewish Long Beach Women’s Philanthropy proudly welcomes renowned author Dashka Slater as the evening’s keynote speaker. Dashka is the award-winning author of “The 57 Bus,” among many other titles for children and teens. She will join us to offer her perspectives on life and why and how we strive to fit in.
The theme for this year’s event is, “Growing Our Story.” As dedicated, passionate, committed members of this community, you are helping to grow the story of Jewish Long Beach by contributing your time and talent in a thousand different ways. Visions guests will be invited to strengthen Jewish identity by making a pledge toward the 2023 Jewish Long Beach Annual Campaign. Tickets for Visions are $65 per person. For questions, contact Susan Paletz at spaletz@alpertjcc.org.
