Dr. Jill Biden, an educator and
wife of former Vice President Joe
Biden, will be the featured speaker
at Jewish Family Service’s Woman
to Woman luncheon Tuesday, April
25, at the Hyatt Regency Dallas.
The fundraising luncheon is
open to women and men. A silent
auction and registration will begin
at 10 a.m., with lunch and the
program slated for noon.
Former WFAA-TV news anchor
Gloria Campos will be master of
ceremonies at the event.
“We created the Woman to
Woman Luncheon to teach the
community about, and raise mon-
ey for, JFS, and the luncheon has
been an incredible resource for
both,” said Ethel Silvergold Zale,
co-chair and JFS’ first lifetime
trustee and founder of the bien-
nial event in 2004. “It is a vital con-
tributor to JFS’ budget and it’s so
rewarding to see what we have all
become. It was an idea, and a pur-
pose, and all of JFS’ staff and vol-
unteers and staff make every day of

Biden is a mother and
grandmother, a lifelong educator,
a proud Blue Star mom, and an
active community member. As the
nation’s second lady, she worked
to bring attention to the sacrifices
made by military families, to
highlight the importance of
community colleges to America’s
future, and to raise awareness
around areas of particular
importance to women, including
breast cancer prevention, all while
continuing to teach English full-
time at a community college.
Inspired by her granddaughter,
Biden also wrote the book Don’t
Forget, God Bless Our Troops, a
story through a child’s eyes of
what family life is like when a
parent is away at war.
Participants in the event’s
raffle, silent auction and live
auction have a chance to win:
tickets to Ellen-, seven nights at a
four-bedroom home in Cabo San
Lucas; a Cartier watch; art pieces;
shopping, sports, restaurant
and entertainment packages;
and more. Raffle tickets, $25
for one and $100 for five, can be
purchased m advance by calling
JFS. Prize winners do not need to

“People come to us at some of
the lowest or most trying times of
life and they put their trust n us to
be there,” said JFS’ Chief Executive
Officer Steve Banta. “The Woman
to Woman Luncheon engages the
community to help make sure that
we are. Many of our programs
don’t sustain themselves and this
fundraiser is critical to the overall
support of JFS.”

being for anyone in need regardless
of religion, race, ethnicity or
ability to pay.
“Making this all happen are our
co-chairs who are all giving souls
and ambassadors of JFS to their
own corners of our community,”
said Banta. “They share JFS in
everything that they do.”
Other co-chairs are
Frapart, Linda Garner, Sherry
Goldberg, Julie Liberman, Beverly
Rossel, Monica Susman and Laura
Weinstein. Honorary co-chairs are
Paddy Epstein, Ann Kahn, Lisa
Kleinman, Ann Rosenberg and the
JFS staff.
Garner said the co-chairs are
looking forward to Biden’s talk.
“We are thrilled to have Dr.
Biden as our special guest for
this very not political, but very
fun, funny, uplifting and great
get-together,” Garner said. “Dr.
Biden’s life stands for all we
do through JFS: breast cancer,
education, mental health, military
and veteran support and more. We
walk the same walk she does and
I’m certain what she has to share
will be a message that resonates
with all of us.”
