On behalf of the Board of Directors of Jewish Family Service of the Desert (JFS), we welcome you to the tenth annual production of One Night Only, produced by the incomparable Michael Childers. Tonight, Michael presents “Hello, Jerry!�, featuring some of the most popular works of legendary composer Jerry Herman.

Proceeds from tonight's event benefit the vital social services of JFS, now celebrating its 35th Anniversary of serving the Coachella Valley. Under the exemplary leadership of Executive Director Maureen Forman, this year, JFS will provide mental health counseling, senior care, emergency financial assistance and other critical services to more than 3,000 men, women and children.

We are also the largest provider of social services to the Jewish Community in the Valley. Your support tonight is crucial to helping JFS continue to provide quality services to those in need throughout the Valley. JFS is a non-sectarian, non-profit organization that provides an array of counseling and social services to those in need regardless of religion, age, income, gender, ethnicity, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.

Much of the success of One Night Only tonight can be attributed to the leadership of our extraordinary honorary co-chairs: Barbara Fremont, Helene Galen, Barbara Keller, and Harold Matzner. We extend our deepest appreciation to these wonderful community leaders for their longstanding support of both this event and of JFS. Special thanks to my event co-chair Terri Ketover for sharing the tremendous responsibilities of this evening and for her unwavering support. Of course, the Board extends our deepest appreciation and gratitude to Michael for using his amazing talents to help JFS provide essential services to our local community.

To all of the performers who have so unselfishly volunteered their time and their talents, we are extremely grateful! We express our most heartfelt appreciation and sincere gratitude to all the individuals who worked or volunteered behind the scenes.

HONORARY CO-CHAIR

Born and raised in New York, Barbara Gerber Fremont settled in Chicago where she and her husband Robert added three daughters to their family.

Today, that family has grown to include seven grandchildren as well. Robert founded Halo Lighting in Chicago in 1956, and later Juno Lighting in 1976, and the success of both companies enabled Barbara and Bob to become philanthropic leaders of their community. They became active in such organizations as ORT, Jewish United Fund of Chicago, and Mt. Sinai Service Club. Their love of music is reflected in their long time support of the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic, and the Ravinia Music Festival. In 1979, Barbara and Bob began coming out to the desert for the winter, and in 1988 built their home in Rancho Mirage. They soon became active in the community here as well. Their philanthropy reflects a lifelong interest in the arts, and both Fremonts have served on the Board of the Palm Springs Friends of the Philharmonic. They have also been active supporters of Jewish Federation of the Desert, the McCallum Theatre, the Palm Spring Philharmonic, Coachella Valley Rep, the Literary Society, and of course, Jewish Family Service of the Desert. Bob passed away in 2012, but Barbara remains an active member of the community, and continues to support the many organizations to which they have dedicated themselves. She is delighted to share this evening with all of you, and thanks you for supporting Jewish Family Service of the Desert.
