Amid the treasure trove of women’s activities in the
Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County season
is the most awaited event in local Jewish women’s
philanthropy. Dee Dee Myers, the first woman and the
youngest person to serve as White House Press
Secretary, will keynote the Lion of Judah Luncheon
at 10:30 am on February 11, 2010 at the Polo Club of
Boca Raton.
“It is always extremely powerful when 500 women who
care and do so much to support our local and
worldwide Jewish community come together for this
annual Lions’ in-gathering,” said Luncheon Co-chair
Jill Deutch. “We express our passion for
philanthropy and our belief in one another, and we
know we will leave invigorated to meet the challenge
of raising awareness and funds in the current
financial climate. Our Dorothy Seaman Department of
Women’s Philanthropy raises half
the dollars allocated by our Federation, and our
help is needed more than ever.”
”We are thrilled to feature Dee Dee Myers,” added
Luncheon Co-chair Janet Sherr. “A national political
commentator, she authored the best seller "Why Women
Should Rule the World," and consulted on ‘West
Wing’. Her example and keynote address will even
further strengthen our power to make a profound
difference in so many lives– as individuals and as
part of the Lion of Judah international sisterhood
of 16,000 women, nearly 800 strong in South Palm
Beach County.”
The luncheon couvert is $65, with a minimum
Lion-level gift of $5,000 to the 2010 UJA/Jewish
Federation of South Palm Beach Annual Campaign
required to attend.
The event is generously sponsored by Marta I. Rendon,
MD/The Dermatology & Aesthetic Center, the Sandelman
Foundation, and

Exclusive Media Sponsor. The Dorothy Seaman
Department of Women’s Philanthropy is sponsored by

Philanthropy offers women of all ages a variety of
educational, social and philanthropic avenues for
involvement.
