The Jewish Council for the Aging celebrates National Older Americans Month with Two Events for Seniors
ROCKVILLE, Md., May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Meet renowned journalists and political commentators Cokie and Steven V. Roberts at JCA's Productive Aging Dinner on May 9. Dine with them in style and then cheer as they receive this year's coveted Productive Aging Award. Cheer again as Irma and Lester Poretsky, beloved friends, receive the 2011 Humanitarian Award. Most certainly, there will be a bevy of elected officials, business leaders and philanthropic VIPs with us that evening including our event co-chairs Debbie and Terry Korth and JCA President Bobbe Mintz.
Please reserve your seat or table now by calling us at 301.255.4231 or 703.652.1511, or using our secure, online registration system at www.accessjca.org. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Buy a seat for $300, sponsor a table for 10 at $2,500 or more, or make a donation of any amount. JCA will transform every charitable dollar we receive into rides for homebound seniors, jobs for the jobless, day care programs for community elders who are frail, ill or cognitively impaired, and other programs that help local seniors thrive. Dinner contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. JCA estimates that each attendee will receive goods and services valued at $95.
Need a job? May 17 is JCA's Senior Employment Expo. No preregistration is required for jobseekers, and everything is free, including meetings with employers, a resume review and informative workshops. For details, see our website at www.accessjca.org.
If you represent an employer or community resource agency that would like to exhibit at the Expo, register now to reserve a free table.
Employers and jobseekers alike will be in fine company among scores of exhibitors that include the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Safeway, Bloomingdale's, Kelly Government Solutions (representing the National Institutes of Health), Sandy Spring Bank, The National Older Worker Career Center and dozens of other leading public, for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The Montgomery County Health & Human Services Department and other event cosponsors will be among them. Bob Ryan, meteorologist on WJLA/TV7, will keynote.
Within six months of last year's Expo, an estimated 800 of 3,200 attendees landed a job, many after suffering unemployment for a year or more. We plan to top that success this year.
