Dear Friends and Family,

We are still feeling the warmth and love from the over 300 of you who joined us at the Gala on October 7, 2023. The feeling of the beautiful evening is captured in the amazing photo taken by Sasha Gulish. Thank you for celebrating with us in what will be remembered as an important moment in the history of the Community Center, honoring Dave’s retirement as Executive Director and the beginning of Alexa’s tenure as Executive Director of our beloved Community Center. We treasured all of the special conversations, the presentations and sharings, the video tributes, the delicious food and drink, the soulful music, and the incredible generosity of all of you who purchased tickets, contributed to the Dave Cort Futures Fund, and bid on silent auction items.

We are excited to share that the Gala raised over $120,000 in support of the Community Center! This event is always the start of our annual campaign and kicks off our most important fundraising season. In the next week you will be receiving in the mail our Annual Report and our Annual Campaign donation request. We are extremely proud of the community based programs that we have offered in the past year that are highlighted in the Annual Report. You can read the full annual report online here.

November and December will be very vibrant months to close out 2023. Today, November 14th, we are hosting our annual Health Fair in the Community Gym from 3 - 6 pm. On November 20th and 21st we will be offering a special Thanksgiving food distribution. We are excited for our annual Holiday Art Faire on December 2nd, for Family Music Hour on December 16th, and our Holiday Toys and Joys distribution on December 19th and 20th. Without your support, all of these amazing offerings would not be possible. Thank you for supporting us in so many ways!

In Gratitude,

Alexa Davidson and Dave Cort
