South Palm Beach County’s young Jewish adults in professions and business will be on the move and making new connections again. All are invited to the Metro Business Networking Series Event on Thursday, March 10th, at 6:00 pm to enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres with great company, make new contacts and connect with the Jewish community. They’ll gather at the beautiful Shirley & Barton Weisman Delray Community Center at 7091 West Atlantic Avenue, west of Delray Beach.

“This is an event you do not want to miss,” said Dan Levine, Metro Business Vice Chair. “It is an elite networking opportunity, and the first time we are holding an event at the brand new Weisman Delray Community Center. So, in addition to the great opportunity to expand your business, you can see first-hand how our Federation is helping in the community.”   

Architecturally elegant, the Delray Center is a vibrant hub of senior cultural, social and recreational programs, a kosher food pantry, individual and group counseling, volunteer opportunities and much more. It is a project of Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service (JFS), a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County.

“The Delray Center is an example of JFS and the Federation identifying a need in the community and filling it,” said Laurence I. Blair, JFS Chair and active Metro participant. “The senior center has over 100 volunteers and has immediately become a focal point for critically needed senior programs and services in the Delray area. Identifying business partners is essential to helping keep the center a thriving vital resource for the community.”

Newcomers are most welcome at the Networking Event, and no minimum gift is required to attend. Dietary laws will be observed. The couvert is only $10 for Tikkun Olam Society donors and above, or $25 for non-donors or those giving less than $365 to the 2011 UJA/Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County Annual Campaign.
