<strong>of</strong> Fashion Meet at High Tea<br />

Nearly 100 <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Federation</strong>’s most visionary, generous<br />

women enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon <strong>of</strong> fashion<br />

history, high tea and philanthropy at the Boca Raton<br />

Museum <strong>of</strong> Art on March 12. They are among the<br />

remarkable women <strong>of</strong> our community whose Lion <strong>of</strong><br />

Judah Endowment (LOJE) gifts will continue to make a<br />

difference to countless people in need locally, in Israel<br />

and overseas forever.<br />

Led by Barbara Werner, <strong>Chai</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Women’s Planned<br />

Giving and Endowments, the women memorialized<br />

the 40 LOJEs who have passed on, and welcomed<br />

the season’s new LOJEs to this powerful, prestigious<br />

sisterhood. With 268 LOJEs, <strong>South</strong> Palm Beach County<br />

continues to lead the country.<br />
