As part of the celebration, JFS is hosting a Birthday Bash on Sunday, April 23, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Campus, and the community is invited.
This free, family-friendly event will include hands-on service projects, birthday party and kid-friendly activities, a birthday-themed food drive and an interactive performance with Lisa Loeb, an American singer-songwriter who won a Grammy Award for Best Children’s Album.
Following the Birthday Bash, JFS will host a 120th Celebration on Thursday evening, Aug. 24, at The Madrid Theatre. Further details will be released soon.
