Join other Orlando professionals after work on Monday, June 3, at the Citrus Club downtown for Central Florida Connects, a relaxed networking and social event in an opulent setting. Enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres and a drink in a fun and friendly atmosphere for a $15 donation, with all proceeds benefitting the Jewish Pavilion. Guests can also participate in a whiskey tasting and a raffle with high-appeal prizes such as Orlando City tickets, concert tickets, hotel stays and great wines.

The event is being hosted by the Citrus Club Leadership Alliance, a board group of emerging leaders within the Citrus Club. Jewish Pavilion board member Carina Gerscovitch is spearheading the event, in partnership with the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, an Orlando-area networking group. Although the name of the event has changed from previous years, it has been a highly popular and successful party for the past two years under Gerscovitch's leadership and attracts a large and diverse crowd, making for a lively evening.

The June 3 event will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Parking in the Citrus Club's garage is free after 5:30 p.m. If you won't already be near downtown, a great and hassle-free option is to take SunRail to the Church Street station; the Citrus Club, at 255 S. Orange Ave., is a 4-minute walk from the station.

Presale tickets are $15, or $10 for Citrus Club members, and are available online at JewishPavilion.org/central-florida-connects. Tickets will also be available at the door for $20. All proceeds from the event will support the Jewish Pavilion's mission of connecting eldercare community residents and their families with a caring Jewish community that provides life-enhancing resources and experiences.
