SOME ENCHANTED EVENING — This year marks the 25th anniversary of Some Enchanted Evening, the Johnson County Community College Foundation’s glittering black-tie gala. Each year proceeds from the event help students in need to continue their education. The event has also recognized a Johnson Countian of the Year — a man, woman or couple who worked to benefit the county through civic leadership or philanthropic support. The roster is a who’s-who of county leadership and includes several members of the Jewish community —. Sue Ellen Fried, George and Floriene Lieberman, Shirley and the late Stan Rose, Steve Rose, Walt Hiersteiner and Elaine and the late Norman Polsky. These people will be recognized, along with the other honorees, at the Nov. 12 event for their service to the community and the college.

Corrections

An article mentioning Temple Israel of Greater Kansas City in last week’s issue (Oct. 13) incorrectly stated its membership. More than 80 families are now members of the Reform congregation.

An item submitted about Rosh Hashanah in the Rockies published Oct. 6 incorrectly stated that Adventure Rabbi Jamie Korngold received her Bat Mitzvah training in New Jersey from Cantor Paul Silbersher. Cantor Silbersher reports they actually studied together at Woodlands Community Temple in Hartsdale, N.Y.

The Oct. 20 article about The G3 Summit: Women’s Guide to Good Giving omitted information regarding the funders. It is funded by the Jacob and Frances O. Brown Family Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation.
