A Havana Night to Remember: JFS Gala & Auction Honors Larry Phillips (December 8, 2011)
The promise of a fun-filled “journey” to the classic tropical elegance of mid-century Havana was fully delivered at the Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service (JFS) Annual Gala and Auction on December 8, 2011. Nearly 250 guests at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton enjoyed a sumptuous cocktail reception, dinner and silent and live auctions of luxury items including jewelry and vacation packages. The dance floor pulsated for hours to the lively sounds of Soul Survivor. Larry Phillips received the Ruth and Norman Rales Humanitarian of the Year Award in a moving presentation at the event. And, amid the festivities of a night to remember, the event chaired by Lisa Goodman and Vicki Weinstein raised a net $300,000 to support essential JFS programs and services.
