A Gary Rosenthal Artwork Sighting

 We often personalize many items, as well as create custom awards, to be presented to all sorts of people.  It's always nice to hear about these pieces making it successfully to their destination!
Jewish Family and Children's Service honored former Long Beach Mayor Tom Clark (introduced by James Hankla, the former Long Beach city manager); former state Sen. Betty Karnette (introduced by Assemblyman Hector De La Torre); and former Long Beach councilwoman Renee Simon, who is also a JFCS past president (introduced by past president Jean Blakey).

There were 250 guests welcomed by Chair Myrna Simon at the group's Service Award Brunch held Jan. 31 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The three honorees are on the JFCS Advisory Board and were honored for their dedication and sustained work on behalf of JFCS of Greater Long Beach/West Orange County.

Steve Gordon, president of the JFCS Board of Directors introduced the dignitaries in attendance, along with the JFCS Board of Directors and staff. Also included in the introductions were members of the Advisory Board: Jean Bixby Smith, Joe Prevratil and Gene Lentzner.

The honorees were presented with a beautiful piece of art, a tzedakah (a Hebrew word for "charity") box, from the Gary Rosenthal collection.
